The Ripe al Convento di CastelGiocondo Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG by Tenuta di CastelGiocondo by Frescobaldi is an exceptional cru with strong personality and great maturity potential. The year 2010 in particular provided ideal conditions for the production of large wines.
The Ripe al Convento di Castelgiocondo Brunello Riserva presents itself in a strong ruby red with grenade reflections, of beautiful color depth, very dense and clear. On the nose, it delights with intense and complex fragrances, including first fruity aromas of small red and black berries such as blackberry and blackcurrant and then plum, followed by spicy notes of vanilla, roasted coffee, cocoa and tobacco. On the palate, this Brunello Riserva is soft and balanced in alcohol and acidity, warm and rich in beautifully integrated tannins. Long, dense finish with beautiful fruity, spicy aromas in the aftertaste.
Production of Ripe al Convento di CastelGiocondo Brunello di Montalcino Riserva by Frescobaldi
The grapes for this mighty Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Cru grow in the Ripe al Convento vineyards of the CastelGiocondo vineyard at about 350 to 450 m asl. The Sangiovese Grosso grapes are selectively harvested, followed by maceration of 1 month and malolactic fermentation followed by ageing in Slavonian oak barrels and French oak barriques. The extension period is six years from 1 January after the harvest, only then will the Brunello Riserva be released for trading.
This Brunello Riserva from Tenuta CastelGiocondo is produced only in the best vintages.
