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.

They are her favorites
Size: Medium (VALUE 2-Pack), Style: Beef, Size: Medium (VALUE 2-Pack), Style: Beef
We’ve had many dogs, many very destructive ones and wish I had these years ago. The hard toys get sharp edges, this toy is the best and yes is far better than the other red ones. My bulldog wants tug of war for 30 min to an hour every night. We’ve gotten tennis elbow, tendinitis, and pulled muscles holding onto this thing. She has tons of toys but 9pm and this is only option for her. We don’t get a choice. Easy to hold, well for a few min until your hand gets tired. First you one was about 3 years ago and she’s only on her third one. They last forever, easy to clean, and aren’t sharp edges. Seriously, better than any toy sold anywhere. My phone has hundred of pictures of Pickle holding this. She’s doing it right now. If you have a strong destructive dog that takes pride in destroying toys, ruin their confidence and get them this one.

Perfect Toy for Large Dogs
Size: Medium, Style: Cheddar Cheese
I don’t normally leave reviews, but this toy is stellar and is a new favorite for my dog! She is a large dog (70lbs cattle dog lab mix) and I accidentally bought a medium, but it actually is a great size for her! So far this stands up to her chewing, but I may need to update in a few weeks to speak for durability but it really does feel solid. Most toys don’t last an afternoon once she starts chewing, so this has already won in that regard. The shape is perfect as well. She can gnaw at it, squeak, play fetch, play tug. It bounces when she throws it around herself. The fact it smells like stinky cheese is just an added bonus for her. All around, a very well designed dog toy!

Boxer Baby’s Favorite
Size: Jumbo, Style: Beef
This toy is my sweet girl’s absolute favorite. It was the first thing we gave her when we brought her home, and she has been obsessed with it since. She brings it from room to room, inside and outside. I would highly recommend this toy, however, we have gone through six in one year. They’re not very durable, especially with our boxer mix, who is a very heavy chewer. I’ve gotten the red and the blue, and she will only take red, which is fine with me because the blue STINKS. The red stinks too, but less so. The squeak is very loud, but she genuinely loves it so much that it’s hard to be annoyed by it. I’d say give the toy a try, you may be unintentionally giving them their favorite thing ever lol.

Design Hazard
Size: Medium, Style: Bacon, Size: Medium, Style: Bacon
I have one of these in a larger version I picked up at the petstore. This one I do not recommend. There is a whole in the center where the pet bites down and my doggies' teeth kept getting stuck in it. If you've ever had a toy get stuck in your pups mouth, you've seen how thet go nuts trying to get it out.

Cane Corso approved
Size: Jumbo, Style: Beef
I have two Cane Corsos, One is 80 pounds the other is 120 pounds. They can seriously destroy some toys very easily. These chewies have actually lasted for over six months at this point, which is pretty much miraculous. I bought them some more just so I always had plenty of them laying around as this discourages them from getting into trouble, chewing things they shouldn’t be chewing. They walk around with these and their mouths all the time and even after all these months, the squeakers still work. These are really high-quality and if you have a dog that just destroys toy toy, I highly recommend these. Even though they’ve had these for months, they go back to them to chew on and play with , it’s also really funny because they walk around with one and hanging out of their mouth and it looks like they’ve got a stogie hanging out of their mouth. If these toys can keep the interest and survive being mauled by these two giant Destructo mutts, then they must be really, really tough. I highly recommend these for super chewers. These even a hold up to having one dog, grab each end and then play tug-of-war with it. These guys can Easily go through A cow huff every day, but these toys are still going strong
