Robb Report wine contributors Mike DeSimone and Jeff Jenssen included Tenuta CastelGiocondo in the feature, “7 Stellar Brunello di Montalcino Wines to Drink Now.”
Mike & Jeff dedicate a paragraph to the CastelGiocondo Brunello di Montalcino 2020, as well as context about the Frescobaldi family’s rich heritage in the region:
The first members of the Frescobaldi family moved to Florence in the year 1,000 and are known for many accomplishments, including constructing the first wooden bridge over the Arno River. Today, Lamberto Frescobaldi’s bridge has been rebuilt and is known as the Ponte Santa Trinita. The Frescobaldis are known for growing Sangiovese grapes and making excellent wine, but their family was one of the first to bring Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Nero, and Chardonnay to Tuscany.

It is well rounded in the mouth with velvety tannins and flavors of dried cranberry, red cherry, and black plum.
