CastelGiocondo is a unique place in Montalcino, where the diverse exposures and soils – marl, clay and Pliocene sand – create a Brunello with infinite nuances. With complex notes that evolve over time, there is always something new to discover, savour and remember.”
Vinification and ageing
Nearly perfect weather conditions meant that the grapes could be harvested by hand without any great difficulty, and they
underwent scrupulous selection on the sorting benches once they reached the winery. Fermentation took place in stainless
steel tanks at acontrolled temperature, with frequent pumping over, especially during the early stages. The wine was then
aged in large wooden barrels, where it was able to mature and become more refined until it achieved perfect harmony.
