The village of Castelgiocondo dominates the historic Frescobaldi estate in Montalcino from above, an ancient fortress built in 1100 to defend the road that led from the sea to Siena. A historic place, it is in fact one of the first four properties where the production of Brunello di Montalcino began in 1800. The estate is located in an ideal terroir for Sangiovese and for the great wines that are produced here: the vineyards are located at altitudes between 300 and 400 metres, the well-draining soils have a sunny and favorable south-west exposure. In the vineyard, obsessive care, high densities and low yields allow us to produce a great Brunello, with an elegant structure and admirable longevity. Castelgiocondo is Brunello di Montalcino which comes from a very rigorous selection of only Sangiovese grapes in the vineyard, where all the characteristics necessary to enhance this ancient vine are scrupulously respected. Thus, after slow maturation both in barriques and large barrels, a wine with great structure, elegant, balanced, with intense aromas and great finesse is born.
