Brunello di Montalcino DOCG "Castelgiocondo" 2020 - Frescobaldi: Why We Love It The village of Castelgiocondo dominates the historic Frescobaldi estate in Montalcino, an ancient fortress built in 1100 to defend the road from the sea to Siena. A historic site, it is one of the first four estates where Brunello di Montalcino production began in 1800. The estate is located in an ideal terroir for Sangiovese and the great wines it produces: the vineyards are planted at altitudes between 300 and 400 meters, with well-drained soils and a sunny, favorable southwest exposure. Obsessive care in the vineyard, high density, and low yields allow for the production of a great Brunello, with an elegant structure and admirable longevity. Castelgiocondo is a Brunello di Montalcino born from a rigorous selection of only Sangiovese grapes in the vineyard, where all the characteristics necessary to enhance this ancient grape variety are scrupulously respected.
