Federica Colla points to a strict green harvest and several passages to pick grapes at optimal ripeness as crucial strategies in 2023. The harvest required more work – for 30% less. Subtly spicy, this suggests pepper, clove, rosehip, rose and vanillin. Fairly upfront in fruit though still midweight, the palate features raspberry and even a glimmer of mineral. The tannins are discreetly firm and integrated with a slight dusty edge. Perhaps without the overt finesse and intensity of the greatest years, Roncaglie’s innate class nevertheless shines through and can be enjoyed immediately.
