The wine

Frescobaldi Brunello Riserva: The Deep Soul of Montalcino

Imagine yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where time seems to stand still. This Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is not just a wine, it is an invitation to a sensory journey, a dive into the history and passion of an exceptional terroir.

The Sacred Terroir of Castelgiocondo

The Frescobaldi estate, and more precisely Castelgiocondo in Montalcino, is a name that resonates with excellence. It is here, on these blessed lands, that the Sangiovese Grosso, the region's emblematic grape variety, draws all its strength. This 2020 vintage is the fruit of an age-old tradition, of careful vinification in steel vats, followed by a long maceration that gives it its depth.

Its intense ruby color already promises you a memorable tasting. On the nose, you will be enveloped by a deep bouquet where notes of ripe cherry and plum mingle, enriched by spicy accents of tobacco and a slight balsamic touch. On the palate, this wine reveals silky tannins, perfect harmony and a vibrant freshness, a reflection of Montalcino's unique microclimate. It has aged for a minimum of five years, two of which in Slavonian oak barrels, giving it this elegant and complex structure.

An Ideal Companion at the Table

This Brunello Riserva is the perfect partner for special sharing moments. I warmly recommend it with grilled red meats, slow-cooked game or aged cheeses. It will enhance these dishes and transform your meal into a true celebration of Tuscan flavors.

Let yourself be seduced by this authentic expression of Tuscan oenological excellence. It is not only a wine that you are tasting, it is a part of Montalcino's soul that you are exploring, an unforgettable memory that you are creating. It is the kind of wine that leaves a lasting impression and that one delights in rediscovering, year after year, to relive this unique experience.

At Castelgiocondo, this 2020 Brunello spends at least five years aging, two of which in Slavonian oak casks: that’s what gives it beautiful depth, so save it for a meal that deserves to be savored slowly.
