‘It comes from Tuscany, specifically from the DOCG Brunello di Montalcino south of Siena. Here, the vines are particularly well protected on the slopes of Monte Amiata - it is not for nothing that Brunello is considered the largest and most important red wine in Tuscany.

CastelGiocondo's Brunello di Montalcino is made from 100% Sangiovese, Tuscany's leading grape variety, in this case the Brunello (little brown) variety discovered and widespread around Montalcino. The wine matures for 24 months in barriques and then rests for a further three years in the bottle before it is allowed to leave the winery.

The alcohol content is 14.5%. The wine is ready to drink, but should be decanted into a carafe 24 hours before drinking. However, you can also decant the wine ‘easily’: Simply pour into a glass and leave the rest of the bottle lightly closed (with the cork only slightly open) for a while - the residual air in the bottle aerates and opens the wine. This wine can also be stored in the cellar until 2034 without hesitation and will then become even more elegant and supple.’

100 % Sangiovese.

Allergens: Indeholder sulfitter.

‘Farve: granatrød med orange strejf Aroma: Skovjordbær, kirsebær, skovbund, vanilje, sort peber, rosmarin, lakrids. Smag: En overdådig, frisk, fantastisk vin, allerede fyldig i munden og med et stort pres på ganen. Næsten sødlige frugtsmage, kirsebær og skovjordbær, suppleret med velintegrerede noter af træ og krydderier. Derefter læder, underskov, røg, lakrids og til sidst en lang afslutning på mineralske noter. Vinen passer rigtig godt til lam, braiserede retter, gryderetter med vildt, roastbeef og vildsvin, kraftige vegetarretter (som f.eks. fyldte courgetter) og modent pecorino fra regionen. ’
