Frescobaldi Ripe al Convento di Castelgiocondo Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG is a premium quality wine bottled by one of Italy's most distinguished wine producers. Produced from Sangiovese grapes that thrive in the hills of Tuscany, this wine's taste profile is characterized by notes of cherries, blackberries and plums. The wine's smooth texture and well-structured tannins, make it suitable for ageing for several years. In the glass, its deep ruby-red hue and complex aromas of spices, chocolate and vanilla make it a wine for serious wine enthusiasts. Frescobaldi Ripe al Convento di Castelgiocondo Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG is an excellent choice to pair with seasoned steaks, lamb chops or game dishes.

Tasting Notes

Ruby-red colour with delicate garnet hues on the edge. Fruity aromas, including blueberry, cherry and macerated black cherry, pervade the nose first. However, the tertiary notes provided by the lengthy ageing are what stand out most here. Cinnamon, tobacco, tea leaf, roasted coffee bean and, lastly, subtle hints of leather are the main descriptors. Elegant spices, such as white pepper, cloves and cinnamon, round off the sensory journey. The velvety, silky smooth tannins are mature and compact.
