Tasting note
Frescobaldi make wines with the ability to age, and yet have the succulence and smoothness to enjoy upon release. CastelGiocondo Brunello di Montalcino is an excellent example - with fabulous intensity and complexity of dried cherry, cranberry, mushroom and leather notes, and wonderfully velvety tannin, all balanced by lively acidity. Drink now or cellar.
In the press
95/100 - Black cherries, black bark, blackberries and lavender. Medium- to full-bodied with juicy and polished tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Needs four or five years to open and come together. Best after 2027.
93/100 - The Frescobaldi 2019 Brunello di Montalcino CastelGiocondo has oaky notes, dried spice, redwood and cured tobacco. At its core, the wine shows dark fruit and a thick level of extraction. The tannins are soft and resolved, setting this Brunello up for an immediate drinking window. The wine is exactly where you want it to be, especially if served across from a steak and baked potato. Drink 2024 - 2039.
