Brunello di Montalcino DOCG - Castelgiocondo - Frescobaldi 2018

The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG produced by Castelgiocondo, one of the historic estates of Frescobaldi, offers an extraordinarily rich and profound wine experience, reflecting the essence of an iconic land of Italian wine. Located on the southwestern slope of Montalcino, the Castelgiocondo estate is renowned for its ability to produce wines of extraordinary structure and longevity.

The wine presents with an intense ruby red color, which tends toward garnet with aging. On the nose, it reveals a complex and enveloping bouquet, with predominant notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and plum, enriched by nuances of tobacco, chocolate, and a light spiciness due to wood aging.

On the palate, Brunello di Castelgiocondo confirms itself as powerful and elegant. The tannins are robust yet well-integrated, balanced by a savory freshness that leads to a long and persistent finish. This structure makes Brunello di Castelgiocondo perfect for prolonged aging, during which the wine continues to evolve and refine its qualities.

It is a wine that pairs perfectly with intense dishes, such as grilled red meats, game, and aged cheeses. It is also ideal as a meditation wine, to be enjoyed slowly to appreciate each nuance.

Brunello di Montalcino from Castelgiocondo represents an excellent example of the high oenological quality that the Frescobaldi estate has consistently maintained over the years. A must for lovers of Tuscan wines and a flagship of Montalcino's production, which continues to be appreciated worldwide for its finesse and complexity.
