Description


The CastelGiocondo Estate, owned by the historic Frescobaldi family, is a prestigious Tuscan winery in Montalcino known for producing world-class Montalcino wines. The Castle was build as an ancient stronghold in 1100 to defend the road leading from the sea to Siena and its historic importance is represented on the label of Castelgiocondo by the figure of a condottiere (Lord) from a celebrated fresco of the Sienese artist Simone Martini

The property is one of the first 4 to begin producing Brunello di Montalcino in 1800 - Located at an altitude of 300m in the South-west of Montalcino, it has an ideal terroir for the production of Sangiovese. Vintage after vintage is reviewed with high scores by all major critics. 

Tasting Notes

In the pale cream-colored label, the Frescobaldi 2018 Brunello di Montalcino CastelGiocondo is richly textured and packed with dark fruit, black cherry and dried blackberry. The wine shows good concentration—probably a little more than your standard Brunello—with integrated tannins and balanced acidity. The finish is moderate in length, and this wine is ready to drink straight out of the gate.
