Brunello di Montalcino

Full

Cork

With over 260 hectares of vineyards extending around the 12th century castle, CastelGiocondo was one of the original four producers of Brunello in the 1800s. It has been owned by Frescobaldi since 1989. After a little cajoling, this unveils blackberry, cinnamon and moist soil aromas. Dense and compact with robust, chalky tannins, there is a lot to wade through, although lingering notes of cherry tea and penetrating brightness on the finish gives some levity.
