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.

Great Way to Teach Manners and Appropriate Behavior
Format: Paperback
When I read this book, I found myself nodding my head so much and lovind the lessons taught. There is a story about the little pig who said "I won't" whenever his mom asked him for help. Then he learns he is missing out by always not wanting to help when his brother "I will" gets to have a fun day at the dock. Sweet little stories about how to act appropriately when you are a guest and how to treat others. It is just darling. My daughter LOVES it because she watches the Richard Scary cartoons on Saturday about solving mysteries. She keeps asking me to read this book to her. I love being able to teach these lessons through this darling book. Highly recommended. :)

My 2 yr old son LOVES this book
Format: Paperback
I bought this for my son to introduce him to saying please and thank you in a manner that wasn't me (his mom) or his dad constantly asking him to say it. Now he reads through this book at least once a day (he has for the past 3 months that we've had this book), and he recites to me all the things that you should do and all the things that you shouldn't do. He points out who is good and who is bad in the book. And when he acts up all I have to say to him is "does Lowly worm (or whoever I can remember) do that in the book? Is he rude?" and instantly he is reminded to not act a certain way. It's much more effective than me asking him to stop. This is a book that should be in every child's library. I read the "top" review here, whatever that means, where the reviewer stated they didst' like the book because it was too negative. That review reeks of a nanny parent; please get over yourself. Give me a break - you are and adult and a parent, you are not your child's friend and a healthy dose of Vitamin NO is exactly what every 2 yr old needs. Highly highly highly recommend for all parents of very young children.

Good manners book
Format: Paperback
Good anecdotes and lessons in this book. I wanted to get a book to read to my 4 year old. This book keeps her attention and she likes it. This book talks about many subjects: Proper etiquette for please, thank you, your welcome, being a good guest, helping out with parents, friends, teachers and neighbors, etc. It feels a little long and a lot foing on with each page, but overall a good quality book. Would buy again.

Fun Lessons
Format: Paperback
You can never go wrong with reading a Richard Scarry book. This book teaches manners to young children very well. My young granddaughter has started speaking in complete sentences, and she is using please and thank you. This book is a good introduction for using these words.

Fun way to learn good behavior!
Format: Paperback
Good value for the price, you get 7 short stories with this book & the illustrations are very well done. If your child's attention span can't handle the entire book you can still manage a few. Lots of funny action pictures to hold their interest, my 4 1/2 yr old son flips through the book on his own just to look at the pictures and they are descriptive enough to follow the story without reading the words. It's a favorite book to listen to because he is of age to get in trouble and to be held accountable, so he likes to see that he is not the only one. His favorite story is Pig Will and Pig Won't. Hint: Say "I won't" with an angry piggy snort! This cracks kids up, they will anticipate the words and snort along with you "I won't"! Sometimes works to change a defiant or lazy mood when I ask him to do something, I will ask "is my D. a pig will or pig won't today?".. helps to snort a little! Can't overuse it though..
