Ronco Casone is a cru produced from Sangiovese grapes. The vineyard, located along the cypress-lined avenue leading to Modigliana, takes its name from the nickname of a family that managed the land as sharecroppers for generations. The North-West position of the vineyard historically favoured hot vintages, such as the memorable 1979. Recently, global warming has improved conditions for the vineyard, which is now known for its finesse, minerality and extraordinary longevity.
