Podere Le Ripi Sogni e Follia Rosso Di Montalcino DOC 2018 (Italy)

Description

• Oaked
• Cherry
• Wild herbs
• Long finish

A deep ruby red with elegant orange shadows. In the nose, it expresses itself as a symphony of aromas going from an intense smell of cherry, strawberry, and violet to a fresh wild herbs aroma. For a Rosso di Montalcino, the wine is structured and refined, with a broad and smooth mouth and a long after taste.

100% Sangiovese grapes grown in schist and limestone.

The 2018 vintage is one of the most fragrant and floral vintages of all time at Podere le Ripi, which we attributed to a mild summer and to the fresh and long ripening of the grapes.

Manual harvest between the second half of September and the beginning of October. Indigenous fermentation and maceration for 20 days in big open-tops oak barrels. 36 months aging in big oak barrels.

Food Pairing: Serve with roast meat, aged cheeses, and pasta.
