Risico - Le Crocine 2024

Le Crocine is an estate located in Castagneto Carducci, on the Tuscan coast. Its story began in 1993, when a bottle of wine shared with friends inspired Niccolò Marzichi Lenzi to pursue the dream of producing his own wines. Established in an area renowned for its varied soils and outstanding suitability for viticulture, the estate seeks to express Bordeaux varieties with elegance and authenticity under the influence of the Mediterranean climate.

Le Crocine, named after the estate itself, is a sincere interpretation of a Bordeaux-style blend from coastal Tuscany. It combines ripe fruit with subtle Mediterranean spice in a refined, highly approachable style. Rather than relying on excessive extraction, the wine focuses on balance, finesse and remarkable persistence.
