Tasting Note:
On the intuition of Marco Ricasoli Firidolfi, IGT Ridolfo is born from a union of Cabernet Sauvignon (50%) and Pugnitello (50%). Internationality and tradition are perfectly integrated while offering a new key by which to interpret the splendid terroir of Monti in Chianti. The Cabernet Sauvignon expresses its role at its best, made of refined fruit notes (blackberry, dried plum) and a well-integrated botanical component (eucalyptus). To these accompany the wilder fruit notes (sour cherries) of Pugnitello, and then the spicy notes in perfect balance (pepper, licorice) and light balsam. A wine of great impression and very complex, with nice acidity. Wine of character and a strong personality…hard to forget!. The Enologist View “The Cabernet, in my opinion, gives it the silkiness of the tannin and notes on the nose from intriguing and complex aromatic herbs. On the other side, the Pugnitello lends that much rusticity that renders it less aristocratic. At the same time, it makes it more captivating and leaves you wanting to continue discovering it.
