Frescobaldi CastelGiocondo Ripe di Convento Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2018

Ripe at the Convent 2018 is brilliant ruby red in color, without no imperfections, even on the rim. On the nose, it is rich and varied, with notes ranging from very ripe yet fresh and crisp fruitiness to floral and then exploding with a dazzling kaleidoscope of tertiary aromas. Fruity sensations include the ever-present berries together with cherry and pomegranate. Among the tertiary aromas we can instantly find pleasant reminiscences of graphite, bitter cocoaand Cuban cigar. Ethereal, spicy, and fresh, its bouquet is acrescendo of sensorial discoveries, but its full power explodes on the palate, well balanced by a dense tannic texture without any particular harshness. The intense aromatic persistence is very long.
