Description
The grapes come from a selection of the highest part of the "Vigna delle Querce" and the "Il Poggio" vineyard where exposure and microclimate give great concentration and richness, the name "La Ripa" was chosen because this wine represents the best expression of the "La Ripa" estate that encloses these two vineyards. The result is a structured, complex wine with intense aromas and longevity that faithfully express its deeply Tuscan origins.
