The Ripe al Convento di Castelgiocondo Brunello Riserva presents itself in a strong ruby red with grenade reflections, of beautiful color depth, very dense and clear. On the nose, it delights with intense and complex fragrances, including first fruity aromas of small red and black berries such as blackberry and blackcurrant and then plum, followed by spicy notes of vanilla, roasted coffee, cocoa and tobacco. On the palate, this Brunello Riserva is soft and balanced in alcohol and acidity, warm and rich in beautifully integrated tannins. Long, dense finish with beautiful fruity, spicy aromas in the aftertaste.
