Understanding Castelgiocondo (Frescobaldi), Brunello di Montalcino, Ripe al Convento Riserva, Tuscany
The grapes are harvested and sorted by hand to ensure only the best fruit makes it into the wine. Following fermentation, the wine ages in oak barrels to add complexity. The subsequent period of bottle aging further softens the tannins and integrates the flavors, resulting in a harmonious and characterful Brunello di Montalcino Riserva.
