Podere Le Ripi
Bonsai Rosso di Montalcino Sangiovese
Generous, intense, brooding, sexy wine from accomplished winemaker #SebastianNasello of #PodereLeRipi. Due to #sommlife, I've had approximately 60 #sangiovese based wines in 48 hours. This one takes the cake. Or, the steak, as it were. #bonsai is from a #montalcino vineyard with 63,000+ vines/ha, forcing hydrostatic stress & rapid root development. 600 bottles produced. Almost all, sadly, consumed greedily upon release (guilty as charged). I'd love to see where this goes...

Oct 29th, 2016Big wine here. Quite the treat. Nose reminds me of Chilean wines I have had in the past. Amazing how much flavor they were able to get out of vines so young.

Jul 22nd, 2016Bonsai! Darker and a little more intense than the Brunello, this is a Rosso do Montalcino but only in name as the wine is treated the same way as the Brunello as far as barrel and bottle aging. The issue here is that the vineyard is not yet certified by the Brunello Consorzio. #brunello #wine

The novelty wine from PLR. Google it. From the highest density vineyard on Earth, beautiful and rich wine but I prefer their normal Rosso’s and Brunello’s more.
