Frescobaldi, CastelGiocondo, Brunello di Montalcino, DOCG, dry, red 0.75L
Product description
‘It comes from Tuscany, specifically from the DOCG Brunello di Montalcino south of Siena. Here, the vines are particularly well protected on the slopes of Monte Amiata - it is not for nothing that Brunello is considered the largest and most important red wine in Tuscany.
CastelGiocondo's Brunello di Montalcino is made from 100% Sangiovese, Tuscany's leading grape variety, in this case the Brunello (little brown) variety discovered and widespread around Montalcino. The wine matures for 24 months in barriques and then rests for a further three years in the bottle before it is allowed to leave the winery.
The alcohol content is 14.5%. The wine is ready to drink, but should be decanted into a carafe 24 hours before drinking. However, you can also decant the wine ‘easily’: Simply pour into a glass and leave the rest of the bottle lightly closed (with the cork only slightly open) for a while - the residual air in the bottle aerates and opens the wine. This wine can also be stored in the cellar until 2034 without hesitation and will then become even more elegant and supple.’

Tasting Notes
‘Colour: garnet red with orange reflections
Aroma: Wild strawberry, cherry, forest floor, vanilla, black pepper, rosemary, liquorice.
Flavour: An opulent, fresh, great wine, already mouth-filling and with a lot of pressure on the palate. Almost sweetish fruit flavours, cherry and wild strawberry, complemented by well-integrated wood and spice notes. Then leather, undergrowth, smoke, liquorice and finally a long finish on mineral notes.
The wine goes very well with lamb, braised dishes, venison stew, roast beef and wild boar, powerful vegetarian dishes (such as stuffed courgettes) and mature pecorino from the region. ’
