Frescobaldi Castelgiocondo Brunello di Montalcino 2015

On the highest hills of this estate, which began producing wine in the year 1800, a small Sangiovese vineyard amazes us with extraordinary emotions. At an altitude of 450 metres, the vineyard benefits from warm sun in the afternoon, galestro-type soil, and fresh Mediterranean breezes producing a uniquely elegant Brunello Riserva, with personality and longevity" Lamberto Frescobaldi. 

Brunello di Montalcino is one of Italy's most famous and prestigious wines. In Tuscany, its homeland, it perhaps ranks alongside Chianti Classico. The wine is typically garnet in colour with aromas of red and black fruit with underlying vanilla and spice, and perhaps a hint of earthiness. The wines are usually full-bodied with alcohol levels around 14 or 15 percent abv. Good tannic structure and bright acidity provide balance.
