Brunello di Montalcino Amore e Magia

Bright, shiny ruby red colour. Noble savouriness on the nose, milk chocolate, bay leaf, toast, cold smoke, blood orange on the finish. Very juicy on the palate with grippy, compact tannins, balanced, accessible, has a good structure, does not appear ponderous, beautiful freshness on the finish, pure.

The 2019 "Amore e Magia" is the flagship Brunello di Montalcino from Podere Le Ripi, and it lives up to its name—love and magic—with a deeply emotional and refined expression of biodynamically farmed Sangiovese. Crafted from the estate’s oldest and most privileged vines on Montalcino’s eastern slopes. Podere Le Ripi was founded by Francesco Illy (of the Illy coffee family) and has become known for low-intervention winemaking, long macerations, and a reverence for terroir, producing some of the most soulful wines in the region. The palate is structured and energetic, with polished tannins, high-toned acidity, and a long, mineral-driven finish that unfurls in layers. This is Brunello for the purist: drink it slowly, or cellar for 15–25 years to watch the full story unfold.
