Frescobaldi CastelGiocondo Brunello di Montalcino 2019 1.5L Magnum

Frescobaldi CastelGiocondo Brunello di Montalcino 2019 1.5L Magnum is a powerful, highly sophisticated, and classic expression of Sangiovese from a historic estate in the southwestern hills of Montalcino. Pours a brilliant, deep ruby red and opens with an intense, multi-layered bouquet of ripe black cherries, wild blackberries, and dark plums, seamlessly interwoven with elegant aromas of dried violets, wild rose, nutmeg, and cocoa beans alongside savory undergrowth and sweet cedar tobacco. On the palate, it exhibits a full-bodied structure with dense, beautifully integrated tannins, vibrant balanced acidity, and a rich core of dark fruit that carries into a long, fragrant finish marked by lingering notes of licorice root and crushed stone minerality. The 1.5L Magnum format allows for slower, more graceful aging in the cellar.

Food Pairing: Pairs exceptionally well with prime Florentine T-bone steak, slow-roasted leg of lamb, wild boar ragù, braised beef short ribs, or aged Pecorino Toscano cheese.
