CASTELGIOCONDO BRUNELLO


Denomination Brunello di Montalcino DOCG
Description CastelGiocondo is produced from an uncompromising selection
of the finest Sangiovese grapes, in vineyards whose ideal
elevation, well-drained soils, and southwest-facing exposure
yield all of the qualities that converge to produce the finest
expression of this ancient grape variety. It is an elegant, wellbalanced
wine of magnificent structure.
Vintage Report The growing season was noteworthy for the high temperatures
and limited rainfall during the summer months as well as the
particularly dry seasons, all of which encouraged a harmonious
development of the grapes. Although the harvest was quite long,
our grapes remained in perfect health throughout, the first
important step for the production of good wine. The sunlight
and warmth of 2012 give CastelGiocondo wines extraordinary
potency and richness.
