2021 Tenuta CastelGiocondo Brunello di Montalcino

The 2021 Tenuta CastelGiocondo Brunello di Montalcino is a polished expression of Sangiovese from one of Tuscany’s most respected estates. Sourced from the historic CastelGiocondo property in Montalcino, it combines classic Brunello structure with impressive depth, precision, and longevity.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby color with garnet reflections. The bouquet is layered and refined, with notes of ripe cherry, red plum, dried rose, violets, and subtle hints of spice, cedar, and earthy undertones. On the palate, it is firm yet elegant, with bright acidity, fine-grained tannins, and a long, savory finish. The wine’s balance and structure suggest excellent aging potential, and it should continue to gain complexity over the next decade or more.

Production
Tenuta CastelGiocondo sits on the hills of Montalcino in Tuscany, where varied soils and altitude help create wines with both power and finesse. The estate benefits from excellent sun exposure and cooling breezes, which support slow, even ripening of the grapes. Harvest is typically carried out with close attention to optimal maturity, followed by careful vinification to preserve purity of fruit and the hallmark structure of Brunello.

Food & Serving
This Brunello pairs beautifully with braised beef, roast lamb, game, truffle dishes, and aged hard cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C, and decant for at least an hour if drinking young to help the wine open up and soften its tannins.

Producer
Tenuta CastelGiocondo is one of the historic estates associated with Marchesi de’ Frescobaldi, a family with centuries of winemaking tradition in Tuscany. The estate has long been recognized as a benchmark name in Brunello di Montalcino, admired for producing wines that reflect both regional authenticity and refined craftsmanship.
