Created from a skilful \u003cstrong\u003eblend of Sangiovese, Marzemino and Cabernet Sauvignon\u003c\/strong\u003e, it reveals a broad bouquet with aromas of black cherry, macerated blueberries, balsamic nuances and hints of jam. On the palate, it is dense and powerful, driven by lively acidity and \u003cstrong\u003evelvety tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e that give the sip a deep savouriness and a harmonious finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vineyards are located in Lugana di Sirmione, on the hills of Desenzano overlooking the southern shore of \u003cstrong\u003eLake Garda\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The roots sink into \u003cstrong\u003emoraine-origin soils\u003c\/strong\u003e that are generally dry, composed of a mixture of clay, gravel, limestone and sand. This complex geological structure imparts to the wine the \u003cstrong\u003edistinctive savouriness\u003c\/strong\u003e typical of Benaco, demonstrating the region’s aptitude for producing reds of great depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vineyard management uses simple guyot and spur cordon training systems, with harvesting at the end of September to select the best bunches. In the winery, there is a \u003cstrong\u003eprolonged maceration on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e in steel tanks, essential for extracting colour richness and structure. The subsequent malolactic fermentation takes place in \u003cstrong\u003ewooden barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for fifteen months, enhancing the complexity of the sensory profile. The production cycle concludes with a \u003cstrong\u003eten-month maturation\u003c\/strong\u003e that perfectly harmonises the wine’s various expressive facets.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ronchedone by Ca’ dei Frati represents the ambitious challenge of producing a red wine of great character on the Brescia shores of Lake Garda, a region historically renowned for its whites.
