The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG di Castelgiocondo, offered in magnum and housed in an elegant wooden box, represents an authentic excellence of the Tuscan territory. Produced exclusively with Sangiovese Grosso grapes, it is born on the hills of Montalcino, a terroir famous for its ideal microclimate and soil rich in galestro, which grant structure and longevity to the wine.
The aging method involves a long passage in oak barrels, which enhances the aromas of ripe wild berries, cherry, and sweet spices, accompanied by elegant earthy and tobacco notes. On the palate, it is full and enveloping, with soft tannins and a flavorful persistence, capable of evolving gracefully over time.
Perfect with red meat dishes, roasts, and aged cheeses, this Brunello reveals a refined sensory experience and represents the winemaking tradition of Montalcino.
