Product price

Description
The 2013 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
Bright full ruby-red. Deep, pure aromas of red cherry, herbs, violet, tar and licorice. Thick and dense but tightly wound, showing a very fresh dark fruit character and a youthfully firm-edged tannic spine. Rich and dense, this calls for at least another three to five years of patience, and should last for another decade or two after that. Finishes long with tarry and savory notes, but it’s the floral lift on the back end that I like most. Ian D'Agata. Tasting date: February 2018
