The wine

Frescobaldi Ripe al Convento: The Soul of the Brunello Riserva

I invite you on a sensory journey to the heart of Tuscany, where time seems suspended. Imagine a wine that tells the story of a terroir, a tradition, an infinite patience. This Brunello Riserva from Frescobaldi is much more than a bottle; it is a promise of authenticity and elegance.

Montalcino: The Sacred Terroir of Sangiovese Grosso

We are in Montalcino, a blessed land where the Sangiovese Grosso grape variety reigns supreme. It is here, in this prestigious DOCG appellation, that the Frescobaldi estate, with its Ripe al Convento cellar, crafts wines of remarkable depth. The history of Frescobaldi is intimately linked to that of Tuscan viticulture, a heritage passed down from generation to generation, with a deep respect for the vine and the soil.

This Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Riserva 2019 is the fruit of meticulous vinification. The Sangiovese Grosso grapes, harvested at perfect maturity, undergo fermentation in steel tanks, followed by a long maceration that extracts all the aromatic richness and structure of the fruit. The crucial aging stage then takes place for at least two years in large oak casks, and the wine continues to refine in the bottle for a minimum of five years before being released. This patience is the key to its complexity. To the eye, you will discover a deep garnet red color, a prelude to an intense nose where aromas of ripe red fruits, cherry, sweet spices, leather and tobacco harmoniously blend, with delicate balsamic notes. On the palate, it reveals itself as enveloping and harmonious, with perfectly integrated tannins that offer a long persistence, punctuated by a subtle mineral touch.

At the Table with the Brunello Riserva

This Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is an invitation to culinary generosity. I warmly recommend it with grilled red meats or meats in sauce, flavorful game or aged cheeses that will converse with its structure and complex aromas. It is the ideal companion for a special evening, a dinner among friends where conversations stretch on, or simply for a moment of contemplation, where you let yourself be carried away by the richness of this wine. Let yourself be seduced by this authentic experience, a true concentrate of Tuscan tradition and character.

The Ripe al Convento Brunello 2019 takes its time: long maceration, at least two years in large oak casks, then bottle aging for up to five years before release. If you’re looking for a Tuscan red built on patience rather than immediate impact, keep this one in mind.
