Tasting note
Montalcino's long growing season creates Brunellos that are luxurious and age-worthy, like this one with flavours of blackberry, raspberry and earth. Decant for two hours and serve with rare steaks or roast leg of lamb, or cellar for up to 10 years.
Ruby in colour, this red boasts a medium nose exuding woody, spicy, floral and fruity aromas. Discover this full-bodied wine expressing lively acidity and offering a broad texture and firm tannins. It also unveils a intense mouthfeel that leads into a long finish.
Castelgiocondo Brunello 2009 is a lively, luminous ruby -red colour with vermillion highlights. The nose offers a melange of berries, among which, blackberry dominates with floral notes of violets. Spicy black pepper and cardamom, followed by fresh notes of juniper, and toasted coffee and hazelnuts. The texture is dense withelegant tannins , full bodied. The finish is very long and warm; spicy notes are joined by equally intense fruity notes.
