CastelGiocondo

Brunello di Montalcino “Castelgiocondo” is a wine that is a bearer of the passage of time and respect for tradition, a value that the Marchesi de’ Frescobaldi winery, even today, after 700 years of history, continues to emphasize in each of its labels. This is a territorial red, expressing the potential of Sangiovese within one of the most renowned terroirs in all of Tuscany and giving a powerful but never out of control sip, always harmonious thanks to elegant tannins.

This “Castelgiocondo” Brunello di Montalcino comes from a careful selection of Sangiovese grapes made by the Frescobaldi winery team. The vineyards, facing south and southwest, are situated at an optimal altitude of between 250 and 450 meters above sea level and are rooted in a terroir rich in sand, clay and calcium. .
