General Description: The Frescobaldi CastelGiocondo Brunello di Montalcino, a crown jewel of the Frescobaldi range, is an exemplar of Tuscan viticulture. The CastelGiocondo vineyards, located in the heart of the region, benefit from an ideal climate with abundant sunshine and refreshing breezes. The old vines, deeply rooted in soil rich in galestro, clay, and Pliocene sands, yield grapes full of warmth and spiciness. Vinification: The carefully selected Sangiovese grapes are handpicked and undergo a meticulous selection process. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats, followed by aging in wooden barrels. After five years in the cellar and a few months of bottle aging, the Brunello CastelGiocondo presents itself as a Tuscan prince. Tasting Notes: Color: Intense ruby red with a tendency to brown as it ages. Nose: A bouquet of raspberry, blackcurrant, and blueberries, enriched with spices, leather, toasted nuts, and red flowers. Taste: Dry and warm with notes of vanilla, ripe fruit, cinnamon, pepper, and leather, culminating in an elegant balsamic finish. Scores: Parker: 93/100 J. Suckling: 93/100 Additional Information: This wine is delivered in the original case and has always been stored in a climate-controlled cabinet, ensuring optimal condition and aging.
