Frescobaldi is a renowned wine producer in Italy, with a history dating back to the 14th century. Castelgiocondo is one of their most prestigious estates, located in the heart of the Montalcino region in Tuscany. The estate covers over 800 hectares, with 235 hectares dedicated to vineyards.

Castelgiocondo is known for producing some of the finest Brunello di Montalcino DOCG wines in the region. The Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is made from 100% Sangiovese grapes, which are carefully selected and handpicked from the estate’s vineyards. The wine is aged for at least two years in oak barrels, followed by a minimum of four months in the bottle before release.

The result is a wine with a deep ruby red color, with aromas of red berries, cherries, and spices. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with a firm tannic structure and a long, persistent finish. The wine is best enjoyed with hearty meat dishes, such as roasted lamb or beef.

Castelgiocondo also produces a range of other wines, including a Rosso di Montalcino DOC and a Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG. The Rosso di Montalcino DOC is made from the same Sangiovese grapes as the Brunello, but is aged for a shorter period of time, resulting in a lighter, more approachable wine. The Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG is made from the estate’s best Sangiovese grapes, and is aged for a minimum of five years before release, resulting in a wine with even greater complexity and depth.

Overall, Castelgiocondo is a producer that is highly respected in the Montalcino region, and their Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is a wine that is sure to impress even the most discerning wine connoisseur.
