The wines of Tenuta CastelGiocondo
The village of Castelgiocondo overlooks the historic estate of the Frescobaldis in Montalcino: an ancient stronghold built in 1100 to defend the road leading from the sea to Siena. The property is one of the first 4 to begin producing Brunello di Montalcino in 1800, and its historic importance is represented on the label of Castelgiocondo by the figure of a condottiere from a celebrated fresco of the Sienese artist Simone Martini.

Ripe al Convento
Personality and extraordinary longevity
The result of scrupulous manual selection which starts on the vine and continues in the cellar with the selection of each grape.
CastelGiocondo
Balanced and full of character
The result of a rigorous selection of solely Sangiovese grapes in the vineyard, where all the characteristics necessary for enhancing this ancient vine variety are scrupulously adhered to.
Campo ai Sassi
Perfumed and elegant
A wine with great potential, it presents the same characteristics as the Brunello but in a younger and more carefree version.
CastelGiocondo Grappa
A rare smoothness and harmoniousness
The distillation of fresh grape marc from the very fine Brunello di Montalcino results in a grappa with an extremely composite bouquet.
