Castelgiocondo Brunello Di Montalcino (1.5L)

Castelgiocondo Brunello Di Montalcino (1.5L)

CastelGiocondo is a unique place in Montalcino, where the diverse exposures and soils – marl, clay and Pliocene sand – create a Brunello with infinite nuances. With complex notes that evolve over time, there is always something new to discover, savour and remember. Vinification & Aging: Nearly perfect weather conditions meant that the grapes could be harvested by hand without any great difficulty, and they underwent scrupulous selection on the sorting benches once they reached the winery. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, with frequent pumping over, especially during the early stages. The wine was then aged in large wooden barrels, where it was able to mature and become more refined until it achieved perfect harmony. Tasting Notes: To the eye, it is a brilliant ruby red. In a particularly good year like 2019, the Brunello di Montalcino di Castelgiocondo reveals extraordinary elegance in a wine that is particularly complex and intense on the nose. At first, it has a distinctly fruity bouquet, with clear hints of blackberry, accompanied by various other woodland berries. The floral notes of violet and wild rose are omnipresent in Brunello di Castelgiocondo. Spicy, straight, fresh, with hints of cocoa beans and undergrowth alongside nutmeg and the inevitable varied spicy sensations. On the palate, its tannic texture is very dense and supported by a generous body, in a very satisfying balance of flavours. The finish is very long with a touch of licorice root to underline the IAP. 93 Points - James Suckling
