Wine Advocate (93)I tasted this wine next to Frescobaldi's Chianti Classico Gran Selezione from their Tenuta Perano, and the differences between that wine and this are enormous. The 2015 Brunello di Montalcino CastelGiocondo takes us to the southern side of Tuscany, and despite the fact the grape used in both wines is the same (Sangiovese), these two wine are as different as day and night. This Brunello gives you more saturated color intensity, more substantial weight and density that you feel on all the senses. Its extraction is much thicker, and the bouquet opens to aromas of plummy dark fruit, black currant, tobacco and spice. That ample width and power make this a good choice next to a grilled T-bone steak |

James Suckling (95)Intense nose of cloves, cedar, dried flowers, orange peel, dark cherries and black tea. Full-bodied, firm and chewy, yet polished and poised with beautiful energy and freshness for the vintage. Long, too. Still needs a couple of years. Drink from 2024. |
