Brunello Di Montalcino Ridolfi 2019 (750ML)
The Brunello Di Montalcino Ridolfi 2019 is an engaging tapestry of fruit notes that beautifully celebrates the range of the Sangiovese grape. This ruby gem of the Montalicino region respectfully prioritizes the fruit first and foremost, with flavors of mixed berries but then opens to nuances of lemon peel, almonds, and cassis. Background notes of hawthorn flowers, sandalwood, and white pepper further add to its intriguing complexity by way of the nose. The wine's medium-full body, polished structure, and vibrant profile strikes a winning balance between stone and salt that envelops the palate in welcoming polished tannins. The Brunello Di Montalcino Ridolfi 2019 earthiness is a classic pairings for game meats like a wild boar ragu, but the acidity present through the wine can cut through the richness of a roast chicken or a aged cheese like Pecorino Romano.
Critical Acclaim
Gardini Notes
98+ Points, Luca Gardini, Gardini Notes: “One of the main points of the appellation is Ridolfi’s ‘vintage’ Brunello, with balance and elegant taste on the shields. Nose of dogwood, floral touches of gardenia and lemongrass, close with sensations of chinotto. Sapid tannins on the palate, juicy, close not citrusy and floral notes.” 10/23
International Wine Review
96 Points, Raffaele Vecchione, International Wine Report: “Intriguing and highly respectful of the fruit, it shows notes of raspberries, currants, cherries, lemon peel, lime flowers, chopped almonds and cassis. There's more in the background with enveloping nuances of hawthorn flowers, sandalwood and white pepper. Medium-full body, classic and vibrant in the noble sip it shows juiciness and fullness, balance and centered profile. Great expression in the 2019 vintage…” 12/23
Wine Enthusiast
93 Points, Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast: "The nose glistens with high toned red fruit, from bing cherries to dried cranberries and raspberries, while overtones of flowers and top soil bring freshness. The palate is juicy with mixed berries, which are lifted by a citrus wave, but undertones of salt, stone and earth provide balance. Acid gleams off polished tannins.." 09/24
