Podere Le Ripi Amore e Magia 2019 Brunello di Montalcino DOCG

A Brunello di Montalcino DOCG from Podere Le Ripi, made from Sangiovese. The grapes ferment and macerate for about 50 days in Vosges oak vats, then age for 36 months in large oak casks and a further month in concrete vats before bottling. The wine is classic, round and harmonious, and elegance is a common trait of the estate's labels. It works with meat-based first and second courses, soups and Tuscan cured meats, and particularly with agnolotti with hare ragù. It is deep ruby in colour. The nose offers red fruit, floral touches and balsamic notes, and the palate is full-bodied and balanced, with a fine acidic backbone and a slightly bitter close.
