Description
The estate is probably the most innovative and unexpected of this territory. The creator is Francesco Illy (from the coffee-making family) decided to fulfill his dream on this unspoiled land, which until 1998 was inhabited by a shepherd and his sheep. Francesco’s and his team vision is to avoid any non-natural molecule in his vineyards and estate (which includes farming animals and a beautiful vegetable garden). Podere Le Ripi started biodynamic farming in 2012 and obtained a Demeter certification. The vineyards are divided between East and West side of Montalcino, holding completely different soil characteristics. The winery is renowned for its Bosai vineyard: the densest one in the world. Vines are planted only 40 centimeters apart, resulting in a density of 62.500 plants per hectare.
LOCATION: Deep South-East of the Hill of Montalcino
STYLE: Traditional Biodynamic
Amore e Magia Brunello di Montalcino 2017
VINOUS – 94 Points – A focused, polished red with dark-berry, cherry, walnut and dried-flower aromas and flavors. Medium to full body and firm, caressing tannins. Lovely finesse and polish to this. Dusty texture. Needs a year or two to soften, but already pretty. Better after 2022.
