Description: Ripa delle More was created in 1980 as an innovation, breaking the rules of the time. Then it changed year after year to become a blend of traditional Sangiovese (50%) with international Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. It is a very complex and expressive modern wine with Tuscan roots.

Tasting Notes: Impenetrable ruby red colour. Mainly herbal and fruity, reminiscent of mint, blackcurrant and blueberry. It adds layers of dark chocolate, vanilla and juniper. Taste is full and enveloping with great class. Tannins are extremely polished and melted. It has a very long finish of blueberry with a hint of spice.


Food Pairings: Main courses of stewed or braised meat.
