Wine Expert Note:

Frescobaldi Tenuta Frescobaldi di Castiglioni pours a deep ruby red, signaling the richness and intensity within. The nose is greeted with a complex bouquet of ripe red and black fruits, such as blackberry, cherry, and plum, elegantly intertwined with notes of spice, vanilla, and a hint of tobacco, reflecting the careful aging in oak barrels. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and harmonious, with a perfect balance between the fruit flavors and tannins. The Sangiovese provides a backbone of acidity and structure, while the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot add layers of depth and a velvety texture. The finish is long and satisfying, with a lingering taste of dark fruit and a subtle spiciness.

Visconti Brunello di Montalcino is a red wine from the famous Brunello di Montalino appellation of southern Tuscany. The winery is located in the south-east of the appellation near the Abbery of Sanit Antimo. The warm climate brings about a high degree of ripness in the local clone of the Sangiovese grape. The thick skins yield a deep color and a higher level of tannins making for a more structured style of wine than that found in the neighbouring Chianti. The wine shows notes of black cherry and dried herbs with bold tannins and lean acidity. This is a good introduction to the style of Brunello but lacks the concentration and firmer structure of the finest examples.
