Tasting notes
An intense ruby red in colour, the wine expresses itself through clearly defined aromas of raspberry and pomegranate,
which are further enriched by elegant floral notes. In the mouth, the CastelGiocondo Brunello 2012 is harmonious and
well-defined wine with elegant tannins and asapid and mineral persistence.
