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.

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character. *****SPOILERS***** Pros: The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits. Cons: Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks. The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back. ***** As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short. Hence, 3 stars.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!

Interesting
Format: Kindle
This was a very captivating book once you got into it thoroughly. But the third person perspective was a bit hard to get used to. But as you got into it and followed the different characters, it was interesting and filled with intrigue, conflict and forbidden love. I can’t wait to read the next one and to complete the series.
