Frescobaldi Brunello Di Montalcino Castelgiocondo 750ML 2020 - (Pre-arrival)

"Pouring a saturated magenta/ruby hue, the 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino is warming with ripe fruit on the nose, including tarry notes of baked black cherries, pine sap, polished leather, and toasted oak spice. While it’s full-bodied, it keeps a snappy lift of crunchy acidity, with a rich coating texture and notes of dark chocolate-covered orange on the finish. It’s going to offer a lot of immediate appeal and will drink well over the next several years."-Audrey Frick

"Davide Bozzon has been the resident winemaker at Castelgiocondo since this 2020 vintage. Given the hot conditions, he kept macerations to under 28 days to rein in the power and keep the wine from becoming too heavy. After one year in neutral barriques, it refines for a further two in large Slavonian oak casks. Grenadine and macerated red plum are topped with chocolate, rosemary and oregano. Smooth and polished on entry, luxurious fruit is laced with espresso and leather. Despite its girth, a concentration of frisky acidity persists through the core. That charming touch of Tuscan rusticity is felt in its dry, dusty tannins on the back end."-Micaela Morris

"The bouquet of the 2020 Brunello di Montalcino Ripe Al Convento is defined by balsamic black cherries, perfumed rose tones and a dusting of autumnal spice. It opens with a balanced inner sweetness and textures of weighted silk, as nuances of cocoa and violet inner florals amass toward the close. Pleasantly chewy and long, the 2020 leaves a spicy flourish and a twang of tart blackberry while finishing with excellent length."-Eric Guido
