Ripe al Convento 2017 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG "On the highest hills of this estate, which was already producing wines in the 1800s, atruly inspiring smallSangiovese vineyard has been identified.
Located at an altitude of 450 metres, where it is exposed to the warm afternoon sun, marly soils and bracing Mediterranean winds, this Brunello reserve wine is extremely elegant, characterful and long-lasting.
" Ripe al Convento 2017 has a beautifully intense, brilliant ruby red colour with garnet red reflections on the rim.
The nose has intense aromas of red fruits, among which blackberries, blackcurrants, blueberries and raspberries stand out.
The floral notes of violet alongside hints of wild rose are unmissable.
The main bouquet is dominated by tertiary aromas that are spicy – black pepper stands out, followed by nutmeg – and that create pleasant notes of fermented tobacco and black tea, cedar wood and woodsy hints.
The tannic texture is also classic, typical Ripe al Convento: decisive and pleasing at the same time.
There is a balanced relationship between the nicely fresh acidity and the rounded, full body.
The highly intense finish is very long-lasting and lingers on the palate and in the back of the mouth well beyond the norm.
