To the eye, it is a brilliant ruby red. In a particularly good year like 2019, the Brunello di Montalcino di CastelGiocondo reveals extraordinary elegance in a wine that is particularly complex and intense on the nose. At first, it has a distinctly fruity bouquet, with clear hints of blackberry, accompanied by various other woodland berries. The floral notes of violet and wild rose are omnipresent in Brunello di CastelGiocondo. Spicy, straight, fresh, with hints of cocoa beans and undergrowth alongside nutmeg and the inevitable varied spicy sensations. On the palate, its tannic texture is very dense and supported by a generous body, in a satisfying balance of flavors. The finish is very long with a touch of licorice root.
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.
