Tenuta CastelGiocondo
Ripe al Convento Brunello Riserva 2019
Brunello Di Montalcino DOCG
Ripe al Convento, named after the vineyard from which it grows, shows incredible longevity and complexity, aging for a year longer than even the Brunello before release.
Vineyard
This wine grows from a small vineyard with shaly and marly soils in the highest reaches of the estate, sitting at 450 meters above sea level. That elevation gives the wine tension while its southern exposures ripen the grapes beautifully.
Tasting Note
A complex, kaleidoscopic wine, this wine’s berry and cherry flavors will retreat behind the already-present savory notes of graphite and cigar. Ethereal and long, its dense tannic structure enables this wine to age for decades.
