Garipald

Toscana Rosso I.G.T.
Bottle of Garipald, a wine by Badia Crepaldo

Description

This wine takes its name from Garipald, a Lombard prince of the noble Gausian lineage who founded the first settlements in the area, giving rise to the place name Badia Crepaldo.

Garipald is our interpretation of pure Pinot Noir—a grape that is a guest in our land, yet finds an expressive voice capable of commanding the same attention and respect once inspired by the Lombard ruler in the lands of Montepulciano.

Production

After a strictly manual harvest, alcoholic fermentation begins with indigenous yeasts, partly in stainless-steel vats and partly in oak tonneaux.

The wine then matures for approximately 12 months in French oak tonneaux, followed by at least six months of bottle ageing.

Tasting notes

Garipald has the restrained character of a great red wine, gradually opening to reveal its elegance and generosity. In the glass, it displays an intense ruby-red colour.

The nose offers notes of ripe red fruit, cherry, forest floor and oriental spices, together with intriguing animal nuances reminiscent of seasoned leather. On the palate, it combines an elegant structure with silky tannins, a juicy character and compelling balance.

Pairings

Semi-mature cheeses, cured meats and charcuterie, truffle tagliatelle, venison, wild boar or duck ragù, and mushroom risotto.

Recommended dish: pappardelle with speck and porcini mushrooms.
