Product Notes

Frescobaldi Tenuta CastelGiocondo Brunello di Montalcino is a premium red wine from Tuscany, Italy. This DOCG-certified wine is made from 100% Sangiovese grapes grown in the hills of Montalcino. The wine is aged for 36 months in oak barrels and an additional 12 months in bottle, resulting in a full-bodied and complex wine with rich tannins and a long finish. It exhibits aromas of cherries, blackberries, and spices, with hints of leather and tobacco. This wine is highly praised by wine critics for its exceptional quality and is best paired with red meat, game, and aged cheese. Frescobaldi Tenuta CastelGiocondo Brunello di Montalcino is an excellent choice for any wine connoisseur seeking a top-tier red wine from Italy.

Tasting Notes

CastelGiocondo is yet another chapter that encapsulates the wonderful story of this wine. The ruby-red colour is vibrant and intense. The wide-ranging bouquet is utterly elegant with fruity sensations that pervade the nose when you first smell it. Hints of forest fruits and ripe red berries, accompanied by elegant floral notes, are the predominant aromas. When left to breathe, it releases scents of spices and balsamic notes, which give it remarkable balance and complexity. When tasted, it reveals a dense yet elegant tannic texture that, together with its characteristic mineral quality, envelops the palate and leaves a lasting impression thanks to its harmonious balance. The finish is long, warming and persistent, with resurging hints of sweet spices and balsamic notes
