Frescobaldi Castelgiocondo 'Ripe Al Convento' Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2010 (Magnum - 1,500ml)

RM1,700.00
Shipping calculated at checkout.
The Ripe al Convento vineyard, lying at 350-450 meters’ elevation, yields a wine that is the fruit of painstaking quality selection, first in the vineyard and then on sorting tables in the cellar, where every berry is examined. This Brunello Riserva exhibits a remarkably distinctive personality and significant cellarability. Ripe al Convento 2010 presents itself with a pleasing and intense red ruby colour with garnet hues. To the nose, the wine is complex and profound with an initially prevalent fruity presence of small black and red fruits such as plums, blackberries, and blackcurrant, which evolves into spiced vanilla notes and toasted scents of coffee, cocoa and tobacco. When tasted, the wine is warm, soft and balanced, and densely rich in tannins, which are well supported by the alcohol content and an acidity that is well balance by the other components.
