AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
**Frescobaldi – Ripe al Convento di CastelGiocondo 2020 – Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Riserva – 3 bottles**
A prestigious lot comprising 3 bottles of Ripe al Convento di CastelGiocondo Riserva 2020, one of the most refined and exclusive expressions of Brunello di Montalcino, produced by the historic Frescobaldi family.
**The wine and its terroir**
Ripe al Convento represents the excellence of the CastelGiocondo estate, located in the heart of the Montalcino region. It is made from a selection of Sangiovese grapes grown in a particularly well-suited vineyard at an altitude of around 450 meters, characterized by galestro and schist soils and a southern exposure.
These soil and climate conditions give the wine an extraordinary combination of elegance, concentration, aromatic complexity, and aging potential.
**The 2020 vintage**
The 2020 harvest stands out for the optimal ripening of the grapes, favored by warm, dry weather and particularly favorable conditions during the harvest.
The grapes, hand-harvested and subjected to rigorous selection, achieved an excellent balance of phenolic maturity, concentration, and aromatic richness.
Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by a long period of aging in oak and further bottle aging.
**Tasting notes**
It displays an elegant, bright ruby-red color with delicate garnet reflections.
The bouquet is intense, deep, and layered, with notes of redcurrant, blueberry, morello cherry, and sour cherry in spirits, accompanied by refined floral nuances. With aeration, elegant notes of tobacco, leather, white pepper, and nutmeg emerge.
On the palate, it reveals impressive yet harmonious structure, with ripe, velvety tannins that are perfectly integrated. Its freshness supports the richness of the wine, carrying it through to an exceptionally long, persistent, and elegant finish.
**Aging potential**
Thanks to its structure, balance, and the quality of the selected grapes, Ripe al Convento Riserva 2020 has excellent potential to develop in bottle.
A Brunello with great character, ideal both for a special tasting and for adding a prestigious label from the Tuscan winemaking tradition to a private cellar.
