Frescobaldi Castelgiocondo Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2006

Tuscany, ItalyEnjoy the nose it is a big part of the price. Riserva Castelgiocondo is super fragrant playing on violets and red fruits with a stony minerality underneath. Restraint, style, breed are all part of the wine at seven years of age. Look for ripe cherry, blackberry, coffee notes with a touch of earth and mushrooms and more mineral notes. Just coming into its own but will live for years. Mushroom risotto would be a perfect match.Tasted: 29 November 2013Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
