Lot 281 CASTELGIOCONDO
CastelGiocondo is the Frescobaldi Estate in Montalcino. One of the few which gave rise to the production of the first Brunello wines, at the beginning of the 19th century. Overlooked by a castle and a small medieval town, the vineyards enjoy ideal conditions for Sangiovese: an ideal altitude of around 300 metres, south-west solar exposure to benefit from the hot afternoon sun and drained marly soils.
“Since the 1970s when my father Vittorio used to take me to CastelGiocondo to see how land was prepared to plant vineyards, I have been convinced of the excellent quality of such estate. Today, following 40 years of dedicated and passionate work, we are witness to the results of all our hard work. CastelGiocondo wines are the result of well-drained soil, rich in stones, sunny exposure and excellent soils for Sangiovese. Our CastelGiocondo Brunello is a structured, elegant and complex wine that well represents the uniqueness of the lands where is produced and also the Frescobaldi legacy for the attention to detail” Lamberto Frescobaldi, Chairman of Marchesi de Frescobaldi
