CastelgiocondoBrunello Di Montalcino
Dry, Medium Bodied style of Sangiovese
About this product
Dry, Medium Bodied style of SangioveseCastelgiocondo’s unique location in Montalcino, with its varied exposure and terrain - galestro, clay and Pleocene sands offers infinite nuances to this Brunello. A multi-faceted experience that evolves over time and entices us "to discover, taste and remember, again and again." Lamberto Frescobaldi.
The ruby-red colour is vibrant and intense. The wide-ranging bouquet is utterly elegant with fruity sensations that pervade the nose when you first smell it. Hints of forest fruits and ripe red berries, accompanied by elegant floral notes, are the predominant aromas.
When left to breathe, it releases scents of spices and balsamic notes, which give it remarkable balance and complexity.
When tasted, it reveals a dense yet elegant tannic texture that, together with its characteristic mineral quality, envelops the palate and leaves a lasting impression thanks to its harmonious balance. The finish is long, warming and persistent, with resurging hints of sweet spices and balsamic notes.

95 points The Real Review
A top wine, but it desperately needs more age. It's very tight, firm and concentrated, with masses of fruit and tannin, and classic Italianate savouriness. Oak has been used, but sensitively. A big, powerful, tightly-bunched wine, which will yield immense rewards if cellared a few years.
