Frescobaldi CastelGiocondo Brunello di Montalcino 2020

CastelGiocondo is het Brunello-bolwerk van Frescobaldi, een historische cru in Montalcino waar één wijn het landschap, de hoogte en de bodem in lagen weet te vangen. Deze Brunello di Montalcino 2020 is het visitekaartje van het landgoed, volledig gemaakt van Sangiovese die hier zijn kracht en finesse vindt. Wat maakt Frescobaldi CastelGiocondo Brunello di Montalcino 2020 zo bijzonder? De combinatie van handgeplukte Sangiovese, de mozaïek van galestro, klei en Pliocene zand en een lange rijping op hout en fles geeft een Brunello met gelaagde complexiteit en een indrukwekkende balans.

Wijngaarden en regio

De wijn komt uit Toscane in Italië, uit de prachtige gemeente Montalcino, van het landgoed CastelGiocondo aan de zuidwestkant van het dorp. Hier profiteren de Sangiovese-stokken van verschillende expositierichtingen en een gevarieerde bodem van galestro (verkruimelde mergel), klei en Pliocene zand, wat de wijn een bijna eindeloze schakering aan nuances meegeeft. De wijngaarden liggen op hellingen met ideale zoninval en goede afwatering, waardoor de druiven volledig en gezond kunnen rijpen. De oogst van 2020 verliep onder gunstige omstandigheden, met voldoende waterreserves uit 2019, een warme maar evenwichtige zomer en een droge, heldere oogstperiode die zorgde voor gezonde trossen met mooie fenolische rijpheid.

Vinificatie en rijping

Bij aankomst in de kelder ondergaat elke partij Sangiovese een zorgvuldige selectie op sorteertafels, zodat alleen de beste druiven worden vergist. De alcoholische gisting vindt plaats in roestvrijstalen tanks bij gecontroleerde temperatuur, met regelmatige overpompen in de eerste dagen om kleur, geur en fijne tannines uit de schillen te halen zonder de wijn hard te maken. Na de gisting rijpt de wijn in houten vaten, waar hij de tijd krijgt om structuur, geur en smaak in balans te brengen. De opvoeding op hout, gevolgd door verdere flesrijping, zorgt ervoor dat CastelGiocondo pas na vijf jaar kelderrust als Brunello di Montalcino wordt vrijgegeven, op het moment dat frisheid, kracht en tertiaire aroma’s elkaar mooi vinden.

Druivensamenstelling

Sangiovese – Tenuta CastelGiocondo, Montalcino
De wijn is 100% Sangiovese van geselecteerde percelen op CastelGiocondo, wat zorgt voor de kenmerkende combinatie van rijp rood en zwart fruit, florale tonen, stevige maar verfijnde tannines en een uitgesproken minerale signatuur.

Proefnotities en serveertips

CastelGiocondo 2020 heeft een intense, briljant robijnrode kleur. In de neus opent hij met florale tonen, gevolgd door aroma’s van kleine rode en zwarte vruchten zoals framboos, zwarte bes en granaatappel, waarna tertiaire en kruidige indrukken opkomen van onder andere zoethout, nootmuskaat, groene theebladeren en koffiebonen. In de mond is de wijn vol en omhullend, met een verfijnde, dichte tanninestructuur en een duidelijke mineraliteit die het gehemelte strak houdt. De afdronk is lang en persistent, waarbij fruit, kruiden en balsamische accenten nog lang nawerken. Schenk deze Brunello di Montalcino bij 16 tot 18 °C en combineer hem met gerechten als bistecca alla fiorentina, langzaam gegaarde stoofschotels, lamsrack of wildgerechten, of met rijpe harde kazen wanneer je zijn gelaagde structuur en lengte volledig wilt uitdiepen.

Love these!
Color: Pink & Beige, Size: Small(fits up to size 7)
Love these! As I write this review, I’m sitting in my recliner with these on. I have had other silicone socks in the past and would like to share a few of the things that I have learned. These fit great! The others were 2-3 sizes too big because you could not order a size. I wear a size 7 women’s shoe. I got the smaller size. I walked around my apartment in my old ones and they got kinda yucky. Now, I sit in my recliner, put them on and chill for a few hours. I now take them off and put in a ziplock bag so they stay nice and clean (no cat hair!). I use them once a week usually on Saturday or Sunday as I’m a working girl. Also, I use Auqaphor before I put them on and put cotton socks on after I’m finished. Your feet will be SO soft. This is not a one and done…I do this every week especially during sandal season! I know this was lengthy and I hope you got some tips.

The dogs like it very much, it produces a lot of noise.
Size: Large, Size: Large
I’m rating this based on my dogs’ response to this toy – they absolutely love it, and it has seen more use without damage than any of their regular throwing toys. At the same time, unless you enjoy, REALLY ENJOY the sound of crunching water bottles, you may not like having this ball in the house. Pros: The rubber outer shell of the ball is durable, and can survive both chewing and pulling forces (as a note, my dogs do not concentrate on chewing - they use it more for play games). It’s big enough for my dogs to play tug of war with it, hooking their teeth in the mesh, and they since it bounces around if they drop or kick it, it makes the game more interesting than rope. They did crush the interior plastic, but they don't really seem to care. It’s much more engaging than a normal ball, and can be modified to hold treats, sticks, rope elements and other external bits, which my shepherd mix loves; he gets bored easily and frequently, and this can actually entertain him. Cons: This toy is loud, and produces repetitive crunching sounds. It is apparently really engaging to chew, and my dogs will produce the horrid plastic crackling up to half an hour at a time. If you let your dogs in and out, it would make a fine outdoor toy, but since I have a dog door, it migrates around to pretty much wherever the dogs are. I kind of hate it, but will probably buy another if they break this one since they enjoy it so much.

Very durable and my Heeler's fave inside toy
Size: Large
My red Heeler loves these balls, second only to Tennis balls but she destroys those within minutes and they are outside only. This is her inside ball. She is hard on toys and has the strongest bite of any dog I've had (shepherds, collies, weimaraners, retrievers, Labs) yet these continue to last. She catches the ball, we play tug of war with it (she places it in hand hand and pulls only when I have a firm grip, she shakes it and flings it. The rubber outside even outlasts the water-bottle like plastic piece inside. Steps holds the ball with her foot and pulls on the rubber with her mouth, stretching it to sometimes twice its size. I pull while shes pulling. This thing gets abused daily and keeps on going. Its the most used toy and she brings it to me to play with every day. Each ball lasts about 6 months before the inside ball is toast and the outer rubber is finally starting to tear/break. which for me in an incredibly long time. If this ball is available to play, she wants it over all others. Shes NEVER gotten a piece off to actually swallow and that alone is worth the price.

Dogs go for this ball every time
Size: Large, Size: Large
My Boston's and Rotti love this ball. I had to get two more. It's great for the Boston's because they can grasp it with the way it's made with the softer rubber. They love the crackle sound. It's just the right size and weight for smaller like the Boston Terrier and Rotti. Easy cleaning, rinses right off.
