TASTING NOTES

Production

The regulations governing Brunello, one of the most prestigious red wines not only in Tuscany but also in Italy and the world, are quite strict and require the wine to undergo a very long ageing period: at least two years in oak casks of any size and at least four months in the bottle. Furthermore, it cannot be released for consumption before 1 January of the following year, at the end of a five-year period calculated from the vintage year.

Organoleptic Characteristics

Thus, Frescobaldi’s Brunello di Montalcino Castelgiocondo follows this same lengthy process, and in the glass it reveals all its complexity: not only to the eye, but also on the nose and palate, we can appreciate the long journey this important red wine has undertaken. The colour is intense, a deep ruby red with garnet hues. On the nose, there are notes of raspberries, plums and ripe cherries, spices and toasted aromas. On the palate, it is harmonious, mineral and savoury, with a very elegant tannic structure. It envelops the palate with a lingering finish.

Occasion and Pairing

Perfect for accompanying a lovely Sunday lunch featuring a menu of flavourful, full-bodied meat dishes.

Serving Temperature

To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 16–18°C.

Allergens: Solfiti

With a history dating back to the Middle Ages, when Florence was the most important commercial and cultural crossroads in the entire modern world, the Frescobaldi family has for centuries established itself as one of the largest wineries in Tuscany. The Frescobaldi vineyards extend for a total of 1200 hectares, distributed across several estates, each with a characteristic microclimate and terroir. The distinctive strength of this winery lies precisely in the ability of its managers to enhance the diversity and uniqueness of the Tuscan territory. Agronomists and oenologists collaborate to cultivate the vineyards in an environmentally friendly and eco-sustainable manner. Committed to this endeavor for 700 years now, the Frescobaldi family has expertly kept pace with innovation, masterfully interpreting the finest red wine labels, including Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, and Rosso di Montalcino. But all the wines from the Frescobaldi winery contain a kaleidoscopic bouquet of aromas and flavours that gives them an exceptional personality, perceptible at the mere glance. Savor the wines of this historic Tuscan winery. Name and address manufacturer/distributor: Frescobaldi - Via Aretina, 120 - 50065 Sieci Florence (FI).
