Castelgiocondo Brunello Di Montalcino 2018 Frescobaldi
Unique Experience in the Heart of Montalcino
Product Details:
Appellation: Brunello di Montalcino DOCG
CastelGiocondo Vineyard: A unique place in Montalcino, where the variety of exposures and soils, including marl, clay and Pliocene sands, gives infinite nuances to this Brunello. A multifacetedness of notes that evolve over time, creating a wine that invites you to discover, savor and remember.
Climatic Trend (2018): The cool and wet winter prepared the ground for normal budding. The rainy spring positively affected fruit set, naturally reducing the production load. The dry summer, with cool nights, contributed to excellent ripening. September’s cool, breezy and sunny season perfected the ripening of Sangiovese, leading to healthy and concentrated grapes.
Vinification and Aging: The hand-picked grapes were carefully selected and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Subsequently, the wine matured in wood in large barrels, achieving balance and harmony. After 5 years from the harvest and further bottle aging, CastelGiocondo Brunello is ready to be put on the market.
Tasting Notes: The wine shows a bright, intense ruby red color, reflecting the characteristic elegance of CastelGiocondo. Fruity notes of blueberry and blackberry, combined with black currant and other berries, dominate the bouquet. Floral memories of violets and rosehips are also present, with spicy hints of black pepper and cardamom. The dense tannic texture, flanked by mineral notes, offers perfect balance, with a long, lingering finish.
CastelGiocondo Brunello Di Montalcino 2018 is a unique experience that embodies the elegance and complexity of the Montalcino terroir. A tribute to Frescobaldi’s oenological and environmental values.
