Why We Love It
Troncone delivers everything we admire about Le Ragnaie—clarity of site, restraint, and balance—at a level that’s approachable and versatile. It’s a thoughtful introduction to the estate and an ideal starting point for exploring Montalcino through a lighter, more immediate lens.
Winemaking & Viticulture
Sourced from younger vines and select estate parcels, Troncone is fermented in concrete vats using native yeasts, with gentle extraction to preserve freshness and aromatic lift. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged primarily in large-format Slavonian oak, allowing Sangiovese’s natural character to remain front and center without overt oak influence.
Serving & Pairing
Serve slightly cool to highlight freshness. A natural match for charcuterie, simple tomato-based pastas, roasted vegetables, grilled sausages, or casual weeknight meals.
