        Reviews:

        • Wine Spectator: Dark ruby-garnet. Decadent aromas of blackberry, mushroom and grilled meat. Hints of dried candied fruit. Full and supersilky, with seductive, opulent fruit character. It's so long and caressing. A thoroughly gorgeous bottle.--1997 Italian blind retrospective.
        • James Suckling: Orange peels, dark fruits, with hints of fresh mushrooms and berries on the nose. Full-bodied and beautiful. This is silky and fresh, wonderfully balanced and precise. This is great wine. Refined.

        Producer Information

        Castelgiocondo is a Tuscan wine estate owned by the Frescobaldi family, known for its Sangiovese wines from the Brunello di Montalcino appellation. The estate buildings, which overlook the village of the same name, were built around AD1100 as a stronghold on the road from the port of Talamane to Siena. It was one of the first estates in the region to produce wine, starting in the early 19th Century. Vineyards of the estate are located between 300 and 400 meters (1000 to 1300 feet) above sea level. This altitude combined with the location of southwest facing slopes and well-drained soils creates ideal terroir. The flagship wine of the Castelgiocondo portfolio is the Ripe al Convento riserva Brunello. In the single vineyard from where the Ripe al Convento is sourced, grapes are hand-picked to preserve the varietal characteristics. After vinification, it spends up to six years aging in the cellar in oak as well as in bottle prior to release. Other wines in the portfolio, include a Rosso di Montalcino and a Toscana IGT produced from Merlot. In the winery, both Slavonian oak casks and French oak barrels are utilized for aging wine. The Frescobaldi family have various other brands within their holdings including Castello Nipozzano, Tenuta Perano and Castello Pomino.
