Vinification of the Castel Giocondo Brunello di Montalcino by Frescobaldi

The vinification of the Castel Giocondo Brunello di Montalcino is a careful and artful process that respects the high quality of the grapes. The grapes come from the best locations of the winery in Montalcino, where the microclimate provides ideal conditions for growing Sangiovese. The harvest is done by hand to select only the best grapes. After harvesting, the grapes are destemmed and gently pressed. The fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to optimally extract the aromas.

After fermentation, the wine ages in high-quality oak barrels to add complex flavors of wood and vanilla. This aging lasts at least 24 months, followed by further storage in the bottle before the wine is released to the market. This process underscores the craftsmanship of Frescobaldi and the pursuit of perfection.
