CastelGiocondo Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 750ml

A balanced and persistent wine: cinnamon, pepper and leather combine in an experience of extreme elegance, finishing on a balsamic note.

Brunello Castel Giocondo appeals first to the eye with its bright, rich ruby-red hue. On the nose, fruity notes dominate, ranging from raspberry to blackcurrant, with vague hints of blueberry. Elegant floral notes then emerge, offering striking and surprising scents of violet. Spicy tertiary notes are then released, due to the lengthy ageing process. Cinnamon, pepper and leather combine elegantly, finishing on a balsamic note. The wine envelops the mouth completely and impresses with its balance, its dense tannic texture and its minerality, as well as its long, persistent finish.

Frescobaldi embodies the essence of Tuscany, its extraordinary vocation for viticulture and the diversity of its territories. Frescobaldi’s uniqueness stems precisely from the representation of this diversity, from its estates and from wines which express a kaleidoscope of aromas and sensations, springing from the characteristics of each individual terroir. Behind every Frescobaldi wine lies the passion of our agronomists and oenologists, who know our vineyards and terroirs down to the finest detail. A commitment to viticulture and to agriculture in general has always been a prominent hallmark of the Frescobaldi family, who have been producing wine in Tuscany for seven hundred years, beginning in the early 1300s.

Attentive care in the vineyard combined with the typical characteristics of this unmistakable terroir lead to a beautiful harvest. The Sangiovese grapes were picked by hand and underwent a scrupulous selection process once in the cellar. Fermentation took place in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature, with frequent pressing during the first stages. The wine was then aged in wood, where it matured, becoming refined and balanced. After a period of five full years in the cellar and a further few months of maturation in the bottle, Brunello Castel Giocondo was ready to make itself known.
