Tasting Notes: Podere Le Ripi's "Attenti al Lupo" is a vibrant, fruit-forward red, displaying a bright ruby-purple color. The nose is dominated by hearty notes of fresh wild berries, cherries, and touches of dark chocolate and fine spices. On the palate, the wine is linear and refreshing, characterized by lively acidity and a great sense of minerality. It features gripping, somewhat rustic tannins that give the wine structure and a boisterous, exciting character, culminating in an engaging, delicately bitter aftertaste. This dynamic expression of Sangiovese is very drinkable and designed to be enjoyed in its youth.
Estate History: Podere Le Ripi is a biodynamic winery in Montalcino. The estate is known for its experimental and innovative winemaking approach, challenging the norms of traditional Brunello production. The vineyards are situated in two distinct areas of Montalcino, each offering different soil and climatic conditions that impart unique characteristics to their wines. A notable feature of the estate is its unique, snail-shell-shaped cellar, constructed using natural materials and designed following the "golden ratio" to foster harmony in the aging wine. The winemaking philosophy centers on cultivating a rich, biodiverse soil and using indigenous yeasts to produce wines that are a true reflection of the surrounding countryside.
