Sogni e Follia is a Rosso di Montalcino from the Sangiovese vineyards that we have on the western side. Historically, our Rosso di Montalcino has always been aged for an unusually long period of time. This choice, in addition to satisfying the need to allow a natural stabilization of the wine directly in the barrel, without treatments, allows us to offer a fully formed and not too raw Sangiovese.

Sommelier's comment: This Rosso di Montalcino is structured and defined, at times it can recall a vintage Brunello, it will require a few years of patience to fully express its character which today is a bit inaccessible due to an obvious need for rest in the bottle. | The 2018 vintage is one of the most fragrant and floral of Podere le Ripi, thanks to a mild summer and a cool and long ripening of the grapes.
