2019 | Le Gode | Vigna Montosoli Brunello di Montalcino

Dried roses, incense, spiced blood orange and cloves can all be found as this opens in the glass. It’s silky and serene with a wave of ripe red berry fruits that gain tension through a core of orange and savory spice. The 2019 leaves the palate stained in primary concentration and a layer of finely etched tannins, finishing pleasantly chewy and long as hints of licorice fade under a veil of violet inner florals.

Reviews:

• Jancis Robinson: Dark maturing ruby with orange tinges. A brooding beast. Very subdued yet hinting at concentration and with stony, earthy hints. Supple, polished and deep, with long, well-judged chewy tannins. Seems ready but there is much more to come.

• James Suckling: Dried red cherries and plums, followed by subtle rosemary and dried-meat notes. Medium-bodied with chewy and juicy tannins. Delightful freshness gives an edge to the wine. A slightly toasty aftertaste. Savory yet harmonious. Solid and beautiful Montosoli. Needs three to four years to show its true potential.

Producer Information

Owned by the family since 1960, Ripaccioli is still conducted at the household level. By capitalizing on the work started by his father Ilano in the seventies, the 1995 harvest marked the first production and consequent commercialization of Brunello di Montalcino. Azienda Agraria Le Gode, the business center and winery are the result of a careful restructuring of the characteristic farmhouse in the Tuscan tradition. The winery is also equipped with the latest technology placed at the service of a traditional production philosophy. The wine is made in stainless steel tanks with capacities from 50 to 75 hectoliters and temperature controlled. The consequent aging stage takes place in the cellar where , in an appropriate environment, the Brunello di Montalcino in barrels with an average capacity of 25 hectoliters Slavonian oak, for a period that varies according to the vintage, but still not less than two years, matures and evolves.
