Vino Nobile di Montepulciano La Ripa
The quality-selected grapes come from the highest part of the Ripa vineyard, composed of 'Delle Querce' and 'Il Poggio' land parcels. In these area the soil and the microclimate ensures richness and concentration to the grapes.
'La Ripa' represents the best selection from the two land parcels. It is a deep and complex wine with intense aromas, with an aging potential of 15-20 years and expressing its unique identity.
