“Lupi e Sirene” Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG 2018

Podere Le Ripi | Tuscany
Podere Le Ripi s.a. arl | Via Dante Alighieri, 5 | IT 34122 Triest

The Riserva Lupi e Sirene (Wolves and Mermaids) label is reminiscent of the good old days when Podere le Ripi was so remote that the howling of the wolves was the only sound you could hear at night.

Light, delicate ruby red colour that beautifully interprets the typical transparency of Brunello and Sangiovese Grosso. Fine bouquet of small red fruits, skilfully surrounded by earthy and mineral notes. On the palate, it offers a fascinating purity and energy without ever being excessive. Its linear body is so fluid and polished that it captures the attention of all the senses for a very long time. Lupi e Sirene is the most elegant and refined of the estate's impressive Brunello range. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark, shiny ruby red colour. Inviting nose of dark cherries, rich forest fruits, some leather, graphite and candle wax. Present on the palate, accessible and polished with superbly developed fruit, plus noble, earthy tannins, comes in several layers, can age, is already a pleasure to drink." Falstaff

"A tantalising blend of dusty rose, cinnamon and clove gives way to traces of mint and dried strawberries as the sweetly spiced Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Lupi e Sirene 2018 blossoms in the glass. This is pure elegance, with velvety textures led by fresh acidity and polished red and blue fruits that are accompanied by a spicy herbal flavour towards the end. The balance here is otherworldly. The 2018 finishes with an unexpected vibrancy, despite a web of fine tannins that continue to hum as the liquorice notes slowly fade. Full of character and holding its power in reserve, the 2018 is a textural thrill ride. It is on a beautiful but slow path to maturity." Vinous
