  • Complete description

    Vintage Description:

    The 2015 Brunello di Montalcino CastelGiocondo takes us to the southern side of Tuscany, and despite the fact the grape used in both wines is the same (Sangiovese), these two wine are as different as day and night. This Brunello gives you more saturated color intensity, more substantial weight and density that you feel on all the senses. Its extraction is much thicker, and the bouquet opens to aromas of plummy dark fruit, black currant, tobacco and spice. (Monica Larner - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 15th Oct 2020)

    wine title:

    CastelGiocondo

    wine description:

    Among the jewels in Frescobaldi’s crown is undoubtedly Castelgiocondo, a fortress built around 1100 to defend the road leading to Siena. The knight depicted on the label is inspired by a famous fresco by the Sienese painter Simone Martini, portraying Guidoriccio da Fogliano, commander of the Sienese troops, leading the 1323 assault on the castle of Montemassi. The Tenuta di Castelgiocondo was one of the four estates where Brunello di Montalcino was first produced in 1800. This ancient fortress in the heart of Montalcino continues to deliver outstanding wines that live up to their perfect reputation year after year.
