Description
L’élégance du fruit et de la minéralité !
Cette cuvée 100% Sangiovese est issue d’un coteau allant de 150 à 400m d’altitude et exposé Sud-Ouest. Le vin est élevé dans des foudres en bois de Slavonie et des fûts en chêne français.
La robe est d’un rubis magnifique. Le nez est très fin, sur des notes de grenadine, de framboises, de fleurs et de craie. La bouche est riche et très bien équilibrée, avec des tanins soyeux et une belle fraicheur minérale, le vin termine sur un long final légèrement épicé.
Suggestion gourmande
Côte de bœuf braisée aux sarments.
Avis des Experts
James Suckling
"My Wine of the Year in 2015 - Marchesi de' Frescobaldi Brunello di Montalcino Castelgiocondo 2010 - clearly underlines this value orientation of my top wines in the list. Its current retail price is around $50 a bottle and thousands of bottles still appear to be in the market. Moreover, it's an outstanding example of the extraordinary 2010 vintage for Brunello di Montalcino, showing wonderful balance, refinement and structure as well as freshness. It's a harmonious wine that gives so much pleasure now but will improve for years ahead. As you probably know, I have been a huge advocate of 2010 Brunello, so I hope many wine lovers can buy and enjoy a bottle of my Wine of the Year 2015. Aromas of warm stones, dark fruits and walnuts follow to a full body, soft tannins and a savory finish. This shows ripe fruit and salty undertones that give it a wonderful juiciness. It's dense and tight now but will give so much pleasure in the future. Best ever from here. Drink or hold."
The Wine Advocate
"The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino ushers forth a new stylistic chapter in the wines of Marchesi de' Frescobaldi. Gone are those overt oak notes of cinnamon, dark chocolate and moist chewing tobacco. Instead, this fresh and streamlined wine renews its effort to put Sangiovese in prime positioning. The bouquet shows dark cherry, ginger and grilled herb. Instead of immediacy, this wine is engineered for longevity and that comes as a surprise considering that Castelgiocondo has historically been one of the biggest advocates of what is now dubbed "international" Brunello. With the 2010 vintage, this estate goes back to its traditional roots. The wine is young now and needs about five more years to complete its cellar evolution."
