Marchesi de' Frescobaldi
Castelgiocondo Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese
Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, Italy
Beautifully aged, enjoyed in 2024, great balance of dark fruits, mellow tannins, and a touch of acid. Great wine!

fabulous brunello. From nose to entry to finish, just fabulous all around. Drinking well now, but can't wait to see them age. Have another few in the cellar. Silky smooth.
