Castel Giocondo Brunello di Montalcino 2019

The 2019 CastelGiocondo Brunello di Montalcino from the Frescobaldi family is a classic expression of Sangiovese, crafted from the historic CastelGiocondo estate in the southwest of Montalcino. Benefiting from an excellent growing season, it delivers impressive depth, elegance, and structure while remaining true to the refined character for which Brunello di Montalcino is celebrated.

Appearance:

Brilliant deep ruby red with youthful garnet highlights and exceptional clarity.

Aroma:

An expressive bouquet of ripe black cherry, blackberry and wild berries layered with violet, dried rose, cedar, sweet spice, cocoa, tobacco, leather and hints of forest floor and balsamic herbs.

Taste:

Full-bodied and beautifully structured, revealing concentrated dark cherry and blackberry fruit balanced by vibrant acidity. Fine-grained tannins frame notes of licorice, cedar, nutmeg, dark chocolate and earthy minerality, creating remarkable complexity and poise.

Finish:

Long, persistent and elegant, leaving lingering impressions of dark fruit, spice, savory herbs and polished tannins with excellent ageing potential.

Ideal with grilled ribeye, slow-braised beef cheeks, roast lamb, wild boar ragù, mushroom risotto, aged Pecorino Toscano and truffle-infused dishes.
