Podere Le Ripi - Rosso di Montalcino Sogni e Follia 2021

Sogni e Follia, meaning "Dreams and Madness," is a testament to Sebastian’s innovative and passionate and uniquely wild approach to winemaking at Podere le Ripi. The vineyards are farmed biodynamically, with high-density planting on limestone soils enhancing grape quality. Sebastian’s philosophy revolves around respecting natural processes, using no chemicals and encouraging spontaneous fermentations. After fermentation, the wine is aged in a combination of French oak barrels and large Slavonian casks. This dual aging process allows for the development of nuanced flavors and the integration of oak without overwhelming the natural characteristics of the wine and helps it to develop complex tannins and an elegant structure. Sogni e Follia captures the adventurous spirit of the estate, offering a wine that is both sophisticated and deeply connected to its terroir.
