From the Ripe al Convento vineyard, at an altitude between 350 and 450 m, this wine is born, the result of a scrupulous selection that begins in the vineyard and continues in the cellar with the manual selection of each grain.

ESTATE CASTEL GIOCONDO-MONTALCINO (SI)
The Ripe al Convento vineyard, from which the Sangiovese grapes come, is located at an altitude of 450 meters above sea level and is characterized by schistose and marly soils, with a southern exposure. The grapes were harvested manually, after a first careful selection in the vineyard. Upon arrival in the cellar, they were subjected to further scrupulous checks, with manual selection of each grain. The fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature with frequent pumping over especially during the first phases, to obtain a good extraction of the coloring and structure components.
The subsequent period of aging in wood allowed to obtain excellent stability and an increase in the aromatic and structural complexity. Ripe al Convento is ready for release on the market 6 years after the harvest and only after further refinement in the bottle.
Ripe al Convento 2007 has an intense ruby red color with barely perceptible reflections towards garnet shades on the nail. The nose is characterized by notes of blackberry that quickly give way to pleasant and intense hints of roasted hazelnut, rhubarb, "Cuban cigar"; spicy notes of black pepper, cardamom, walnut husk emerge, followed by balsamic notes of thyme, tea leaves and juniper. Memories of undergrowth and iodized scents. The entry into the mouth is imperious, characterized by a dense and elegant texture well supported by a generous body. The finish is very long and balanced
