Ronco Calino: A Hidden Gem in Franciacorta
Ronco Calino is nestled in a picturesque corner of Franciacorta, near the residence of renowned pianist Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli. This serene oasis spans ten hectares of lush vineyards, surrounded by the vibrant sounds and colors of nature. Here, time seems to stand still, allowing for meticulous care and patience in crafting Franciacorta and still wines through organic viticulture. The wines reflect the unique terroir and the dedication of the winemakers, showcasing authentic and complex flavors that are as radiant as the landscape itself. Ronco Calino offers a welcoming atmosphere for wine enthusiasts, featuring contemporary spaces adorned with hanging sofas and elegant chandeliers.
Organic Winemaking Practices
The diverse terroir of Ronco Calino enhances the complexity of its wines, with vineyards oriented to capture the gentle breezes from Lago d’Iseo. This ideal exposure results in fully ripe grapes that produce fresh, crisp musts and long-lasting wines. The winery cultivates a variety of grapes, including premium Chardonnay, exquisite Pinot Noir, and the unique native Erbamat, alongside fruity Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot. After hand-harvesting, the grapes are promptly chilled to preserve their aromas, then gently pressed and stored in steel tanks and wooden barrels. Winemaker Paolo Radici produces 70,000 bottles of award-winning sparkling wines under the Franciacorta DOCG designation, along with 2,000 bottles of delightful red and white wines.
Aging Process in the Cellars
The underground cellars at Ronco Calino are equipped with modern technology, including chillers, pressers, small tanks, and wooden barrels, all designed to support the winemaker's craft. After bottling in spring, the Franciacorta wines undergo an extended aging process, resting on the lees for one additional year beyond the requirements of the strict Production Code. This careful maturation enhances the wines' flavors, while the dosage contains minimal sugar, allowing the true character of the wine to shine through, appealing to even the most discerning palates.
