Description

Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Ripe al Convento CastelGiocondo Frescobaldi, comes to life on the highest hills of this estate, which already produced wines in the 1800s, a small vineyard has been identified that offers extraordinary emotions. Its altitude of 450 metres, characterised by schist and marl soils, with southern exposure to the warm afternoon sun, where salubrious Mediterranean winds give this Riserva extreme elegance, personality and longevity.

Vinification
The Ripe al Convento vineyard, from which the grapes come, were harvested by hand after an initial careful selection in the vineyard. On arrival in the cellar, they were subjected to further scrupulous control, with manual sorting of each grape. Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with frequent pumping over, especially during the early stages, to obtain a good extraction of the colour and structure components.

Refinement
The subsequent period of maturation in wood allowed excellent stability and an increase in aromatic and structural complexity. This Riserva is ready for release on the market in the sixth year following the harvest and only after further bottle ageing.

Sommelier Suggestion	We recommend pouring the wine into the decanter for a few hours to allow it to aerate and awaken all the aromas. This wine is one of the great Italian red wines particularly suitable for ageing. Remarkable already if drunk now, but we suggest to let it rest in the cellar to reach a full and harmonious maturity, with important aromatic evolutions. Ageing capacity of over 20 years.
Tasting Notes	In the glass it is an elegant, bright ruby red with garnet red highlights on the rim. On the nose, intense hints of red fruits, including blackberry, blackcurrant, blueberry and raspberry. Inevitable floral notes of violet flanked by hints of wild rose. The central olfactory phase is dominated by tertiary aromas, both spicy, with black pepper in the foreground followed by nutmeg, and pleasant notes of fermented tobacco and black tea, cedar wood and hints of undergrowth. The tannic texture is firm and caressing at the same time. Balanced is the relationship between the freshness given by the nice acidity and the round component due to the generous body. The very intense finish is very long and lingers well beyond the norm on the palate and in the aftertaste.
Pairing Advice
Pairing	An excellent companion to accompany an entire meal. First courses with suculent meat sauce, second courses of stewed meat, game and particularly fatty grilled meat, but also suitable to be enjoyed with mature cheese.
