The Sangiovese grapes were hand-picked and, once in the cellar, subjected to a meticulous selection. Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with frequent pump-overs, especially during the initial stages. The wine then underwent a long period of aging in wood, where it had the opportunity to mature, refine, and balance. Only after a period of 5 years in the cellar and further bottle aging for a few months, CastelGiocondo was ready to be introduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sense of sight is the first to be satisfied. CastelGiocondo 2014 immediately presents itself with an intense and brilliant ruby red color. On the nose, fruity notes predominate, ranging from raspberry to redcurrant, with faint hints of blueberry; a piquant and surprising elegant floral note emerges after a few moments: unmistakable hints of violet. As it opens up, spicy and tertiary notes, due to the long aging, are released. Cinnamon, pepper, and leather chase each other, and on the finish, reminding us of its extreme elegance, a balsamic touch.\u003cbr\u003eIn the mouth, it completely envelops and impresses with its harmony, its dense tannic structure, and its mineral sensation.
