Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself wandering through the Tuscan hills, the sun caressing the vines. It is there, in the heart of Montalcino, that this Brunello is born, a wine that whispers history and passion. It embodies the elegance and depth you look for in a great Italian wine.
When I think of Tuscany's wine country, Montalcino stands out as the obvious choice. It is here, on clay-limestone soils bathed in an ideal microclimate, that Sangiovese Grosso fully flourishes. The Castelgiocondo estate, owned by the Frescobaldi family, a lineage whose history has been intertwined with that of Tuscan wine for centuries, is a major player in this prestigious appellation.
This Brunello, from the 2021 vintage, is a pure Sangiovese Grosso. The vinification follows traditional methods, with fermentation in stainless steel tanks and extended maceration, allowing optimal extraction of aromas and colour. Its ageing is meticulous: a minimum of 36 months in oak barrels, followed by additional refinement in the bottle, for a total of five years before being offered for tasting. Its colour is a deep garnet red, inviting discovery. On the nose, you will be charmed by an intense bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and raspberry, interwoven with earthy notes and delicate spicy nuances. On the palate, it reveals itself rich and enveloping, with soft tannins that promise beautiful evolution over the years. You will find the flavours of red fruits, leather and tobacco, characteristic of a high-quality Brunello.
This Brunello di Montalcino is a true invitation to the table. I warmly recommend it with robust dishes that will magnify its complexity. Picture it alongside roasted red meats, flavourful game or aged cheeses. It is the ideal companion for an exceptional evening, a moment of sharing where conviviality meets refinement. Let yourself be carried away by this wine that tells a story with every sip.
