Frescobaldi Ripe al Convento di CastelGiocondo 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva

A Brunello di Montalcino Riserva from Frescobaldi, made from Sangiovese grown in the Ripe al Convento vineyard at 350-450 metres. The wine is selected in the vineyard and by manual sorting of each berry, then matures partly in Slavonian oak casks and partly in French oak barriques. It is intended to accompany stews, slow-cooked meat dishes and aged cheeses. The nose is elegant, with balsamic notes, small red fruits, tobacco, dark chocolate and liquorice root. On the palate it has an important structure with soft, well-integrated tannins, balanced acidity and mineral sensations, giving long aromatic persistence and full flavour.
