Description
The Brunello di Montalcino Cielo d’Ulisse 2019 from Podere le Ripi is a dynamic and exuberant Sangiovese. The grapes come from vineyards that are approximately 20 years old and after vinification they rest in large barrels for approximately 36 months. The result is a spirited wine with lively tannin and good acidity, as per tradition. We really like the care with which Francesco Illy follows every single project and the dedication with which he dedicates himself to his company.
An engaging and intriguing wine, a reflection of its creator. Podere Le Ripi is located in the southern quadrant of Montalcino, not far from Castelnuovo dell’Abate. The company led by Francesco Illy is run by a young and passionate staff. An unconventional winery in many respects, it represents the future of Montalcino. Respect for nature and its biodiversity is the philosophy behind the magnificent Brunellos of Podere Le Ripi. Adherence to the principles of biodynamics is merely the logical consequence of this philosophy
