Product Notes

Frescobaldi Ripe al Convento di Castelgiocondo Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG is an exquisite wine from the Italian region of Tuscany. This rich, full-bodied red wine boasts an impressive depth, presenting an aromatic bouquet of ripe cherries, plum and hints of spice. On the palate, it offers complex layers of dark fruit, supported by well-rounded tannins and robust acidity, leading to a lingering, sophisticated finish. With its superb structure, it pairs beautifully with hearty meats and mature cheese. Aged for an extended period, it evolves gracefully, promising an enchanting drinking experience for any serious wine connoisseur.

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.
