Product price
$79.98
Description
The 2010 Frescobaldi Brunello di Montalcino Castelgiocondo hails from the prestigious Montalcino region of Tuscany, Italy. This red wine showcases a robust flavor profile characterized by notes of dark cherry, plum, and hints of leather and spice, complemented by firm tannins and vibrant acidity, typical of Sangiovese grapes grown in this renowned terroir. As the wine ages it develops complex earthy and savory notes and becomes smoother and more cohesive as tannins soften.
Ideal for pairing with rich dishes, this Brunello complements roasted meats, hearty pasta, and aged cheeses.

Expert Reviews
Aromas of warm stones, dark fruits and walnuts follow to a full body, soft tannins and a savory finish. This shows ripe fruit and salty undertones that give it a wonderful juiciness. It's dense and tight now but will give so much pleasure in the future. Best ever from here. Review Date: 10/2015
The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino ushers forth a new stylistic chapter in the wines of Marchesi de' Frescobaldi. Gone are those overt oak notes of cinnamon, dark chocolate and moist chewing tobacco. Instead, this fresh and streamlined wine renews its effort to put Sangiovese in prime positioning. The bouquet shows dark cherry, ginger and grilled herb. Instead of immediacy, this wine is engineered for longevity and that comes as a surprise considering that Castelgiocondo has historically been one of the biggest advocates of what is now dubbed 'international' Brunello. With the 2010 vintage, this estate goes back to its traditional roots. The wine is young now and needs about five more years to complete its cellar evolution. (ML) Review Date: 02/2015
