The Podere Le Ripi 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Amore e Magia comes from a unique site with white clay soils near Castelnuovo dell’Abate. This lunar-looking landscape shapes a darkly saturated expression of Sangiovese. Fresh aromas of wild cherry, blackcurrant and candied orange peel rise from the glass, while the wine’s thick texture is lifted and articulated by vibrant acidity and finely textured tannins. This is a distinctive and intellectually engaging interpretation of Brunello that underscores the expressive potential of this southern zone. Production is 13,000 bottles. 2027 - 2043
