Grape blend: 60% Sangiovese, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot
Description: kept in small barrels (225 lt) for 18-24 months. This is the most full-flavoured of Vicchiomaggio’s wines. All the grapevines are older than 20 years and are pruned according to strict requirements to guarantee a very low yield. This wine is elegant, spicy, peppery, sweet and has a notable wood taste. This is a full-flavoured, vigorous indeed delicious wine, that will ripen well over the years, becoming complex and intense. The peculiar Sangiovese style guarantees Ripa delle More a place in the cellar of enthusiasts of vigorous and decisive wines.
