The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Ripe al Convento Castelgiocondo Riserva of Frescobaldi is a Tuscan excellence that embodies the ancient and refined soul of the territory on the hills of Montalcino. Obtained exclusively from Sangiovese grapes, this wine matures with meticulous care, first in oak barrels for over two years and then in the bottle, thus reaching exemplary complexity and maturity.
On the nose, it opens with intense notes of ripe cherry, plum, and sweet spices, accompanied by subtle hints of balsamic and vanilla. On the palate, it reveals a robust yet elegant structure, with smooth tannins and a persistent finish that recalls scents of tobacco and leather.
The balance between freshness and softness makes it perfect when paired with red meats, roasts, and aged cheeses, offering a tasting that enhances the authentic and timeless character of Brunello di Montalcino.
