Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Castelgiocondo 2016 Frescobaldi

Brunello di Montalcino Castelgiocondo di Frescobaldi was born in the vineyards of the homonymous estate, located in Montalcino, in Tuscany.

It is produced with pure Sangiovese grapes, scrupulously selected and harvested by hand during the first week of October. The grapes ferment in stainless steel vats at a temperature below 30 ° C for 12 days and the maceration continues for 32 days. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is placed in French oak barriques and Slavonian oak barrels where it ages for at least 2 years, followed by refinement for 4 months in bottle before being put on the market.

It is a wine with a lively and bright ruby red color, enriched with vermilion reflections. The nose opens with hints of berries, among which the blackberry stands out, enriched with floral notes of violet, which then leave room for spicy nuances of black pepper and cardamom, juniper balsamic and empireumatic of coffee and toasted hazelnut . In the mouth it reveals a dense and elegant tannic texture and a full body. The finish is very long and warm, with a spicy component that stands out on the intense fruity notes.

Perfect to accompany red and braised meats, it is ideal in combination with aged cheeses.
