Description

Brunello di Montalcino CastelGiocondo Frescobaldi, comes from a unique place in Montalcino, where the great variety of exposures and soils such as marl, clays and Pliocene sands give this Brunello infinite nuances. A versatility of notes that evolve over time and make one want to discover, savour and remember them again and again.

Vinification
The careful care taken in the vineyard, together with the typical features of this unmistakable terroir, led to a beautiful harvest. The grapes were harvested by hand and once in the cellar, subjected to scrupulous selection. Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with frequent pumping over especially during the early stages.

Refinement
The wine then underwent maturation in wood, where it had the opportunity to mature and equilibrate. This Brunello is ready for release 5 years after the harvest and only after further bottle ageing.

Sommelier Suggestion We recommend pouring the wine into the decanter for a few hours to allow it to aerate and awaken all the aromas. This wine is one of the great Italian red wines particularly suitable for ageing. Remarkable already if drunk now, but we suggest to let it rest in the cellar to reach a full and harmonious maturity, with important aromatic evolutions. Ageing capacity of over 10 years.
Tasting Notes In the glass, it has an intense and brilliant ruby red colour. The nose is characterised by fruity scents, especially in its incipt, with notes reminiscent of raspberry, blackcurrant and even pomegranate, as well as beautiful floral sensations of violets and roses, extremely harmonious and charming. With time, its maturity becomes extremely interesting, opening up to spicy notes such as white pepper, clove and aniseed but also to roasted sensations and more evolved notes such as roasting and liquorice. On the palate, the tannic texture is dense and the perceived minerality beautiful. An incredibly harmonious wine with a long and persistent finish.
Pairing Advice
Pairing An excellent companion to accompany an entire meal. First courses with meat sauce, second courses of stewed meat, game and grilled meat, but also suitable to be enjoyed with blue cheese.
