50% Sangiovese, 30% Cabernet, 20% Merlot

Ruby red colour. Notes of plum and blueberry with hints of mint. Soft and opulent tannins.

Ripa delle More, Toscana IGT, is one of the products of Castello Vicchiomaggio in Greve in Chianti. It is made from a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, vinified in small stainless steel tanks to ensure maximum contact between the skins and the must. After fermentation and racking, the wine undergoes the so-called malolactic fermentation and a period of refinement of about two years in new French oak barriques from two different tonnellerie. After bottling, the wine remains in the cellar for a further 7 months before release. Born as an innovative wine, out of the box and outside the specifications, Ripa delle More is a red wine with a modern taste that does not forget its Tuscan territorial roots. The colour is an impenetrable ruby red. The nose reveals exuberant aromas, mainly balsamic and fruity, reminiscent of mint, blackcurrant and blueberry, but also evolves with hints of dark chocolate, vanilla and juniper. In the mouth it denotes fullness and great class. The tannins are well polished and blend with the fruity taste. The finish is long, with pleasant spicy notes. It goes well with elaborate meat dishes such as stews, braised meats and casseroles.
