Castelluccio Sauvignon Ronco del Re 2009
When in 1975 we planted Sauvignon Blanc grape variety in Castelluccio, we thought of producing a great white wine that would follow the same wine making techniques, and hence maturation, as a red wine, so to develop those same complexities and characteristics Castelluccio ground and Ronco del Re micro-climate do show when meeting with Sauvignon Blanc. Ronco del Re is the wine that has brought Castelluccio prestige and pride, conquering top international acknowledgements since the 80s. A “gem” that – in all its complexity - expresses the terroir of the vineyard from which its name originates. Thick and gaudy in its yellow guise, it has mineral notes and very refined fragrances, between fruit and oak.

Colour

Intense yellow with golden hints.

Bouquet

Complex in which the fruit combines with a hint of tertiary evolution, where candied and exotic fruits prevail.

Flavour

Similar to the bouquet, highly structured but well balanced, with an unusual long-lasting after-taste.

Pairing

It’s a well suited wine for seafood, roasted and sauced shrimps and lobsters, cold and warm duck liver based dishes, aged and flavoured cheeses.
