Frescobaldi CastelGiocondo Brunello di Montalcino 2020

This wine’s layered flavors play off of its dense tannic structure and mineral intensity. Fruit aromas of raspberry and pomegranate fade to reveal a violet florality followed by toasted spice notes of star anise and licorice.

94 Points - James Suckling

Pretty Brunello with licorice, smoky woodland and ripe black cherries. Medium-bodied, soft and velvety at the start, then thick with an austere finish. Refreshing acidity. Good definition and savoriness here, yet it’s mostly fruity. Needs time to develop greater complexity. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.

Fresh and expressive, this red displays cherry, raspberry, earth, leather and menthol flavors. There are gripping tannins, yet it's the vivid acidity that makes a stronger impact as it propels the long finish. Best from 2028 through 2045. 25,000 cases made, 3,000 cases imported.
