Community Tasting Note

Saturday, March 23, 2024 - Bought after tasting at the winery in the south east corner of Montalcino. Originally it was thought that there would not be much of a harvest because of the hot dry conditions but fortunately there was a small harvest and we were fortunate enough to taste it and buy some. This is 100% Sangiovese; it has bolder almost more emphasized flavors of fruit. Not more fruit it just lingers longer on the palate.
There is a bold cherry on the nose. On the palate it’s quite velvety with dark cherries, raspberry and a bit of mocha and a hint of almond. Medium tannins (I was surprised given its youth) and a long finish.
I wish we had bought more. This is the first bottle of a Marietta of Podere le Ripi wines that we. Right back with us. If you have not tried any of their wines I would highly recommend it.
Even better, if you get the chance, make an appointment for a winery tour and a tasting.
