Note di degustazione
The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Castelgiocondo is in a wonderful place, with a slowly maturing bouquet of spiced orange peels, sweet pipe tobacco, crushed violets and dried black cherries. It is beautifully resolved with medium-bodied weight and silken textures, as liquid florals envelop the palate and a crunch of minerality forms toward the close. It tapers off a bit short, yet remains classically dry and refined, leaving a slight licorice tinge and a resonance of spice. The 2006 presents a balanced experience for its age, with an inner harmony that will allow it to continue improving over the next three to five years.

Good deep red. Red berries, flowers, sexy oak spices and an exotic suggestion of blood orange. Sweet, lively and perfumed, with lovely energy and floral lift to the sappy flavors of red berries and exotic spices. Very sangiovese in its firm acidity and cut. Finishes brisk and a bit wiry, with a hint of graphite and dusty tannins. Will this put on weight with bottle aging?
The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino is one of the most juicy, easygoing wines readers will come across in this vintage. A sweet, open bouquet leads to bright red fruits as this vinous Brunello flows from the glass. Crushed flowers, mint and raspberries add complexity on the delicate, nuanced finish. The wine's up-front personality makes it an excellent choice for enjoyment over the next handful of years.

Castelgiocondo is one of Lamberto Frescobaldi’s two estates in Montalcino. If these new releases are any indication, quality seems to be on the upswing here.
