Castelgiocondo Ripe al Convento Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2018 750ml

On the highest hills of this estate, which began producing wine in the year 1800, a small Sangiovese vineyard amazes us with extraordinary emotions. At an altitude of 450 metres, the vineyard benefits from warm sun in the afternoon, galestro type soil, and fresh Mediterranean breezes, producing a uniquely elegant Brunello Riserva, with personality and longevity

95 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Pipe tobacco, spiced plum, menthol and blue flower are some of the aromas you'll find on this enveloping wine. Full bodied and savory, the structured, generous palate combines muscle and finesse, doling out fleshy morello cherry, raspberry jam, licorice and a dollop of vanilla alongside velvety tannins. It's already approachable but will age well for several years or more. Drink through 2028.
