Brunello di Montalcino 2008 Docg “Artisti per Frescobaldi, Giovanni Ozzola” Magnum - Frescobaldi

Brunello di Montalcino DOCG made within the Castelgiocondo estate is the wine chosen by Tiziana Frescobaldi for the launch of the first edition of "Artists for Frescobaldi," a contemporary art award conceived by the family in 2012. Castelgiocondo is the Frescobaldi family's historic estate in Montalcino, one of the first four properties where Brunello production began in 1800. The wine comes from a very strict selection of Sangiovese grapes, grown with scrupulous respect for all the characteristics necessary to enhance it. Thus is born, after a slow maturation in both barriques and large barrels, a wine of excellent structure, elegant, balanced, with intense aromas and great finesse. Giovanni Ozzola, a Florentine who lives and works between Prato and Paris, has stamped his professional career on light and its essence in three-dimensional space, through research on the relationship between images as mental representation and reality. The 500 Magnums bearing his label tell precisely this correlation, between forms and drawings in which light is the protagonist.

Tasting Notes: To the eye it has a beautiful garnet color. Ripe fruit is brought out on the nose, highlighting notes of blackberry and plum, enriched by floral touches and deep tertiary scents, where nutmeg and cloves prevail. On the palate it is full-bodied, with dense, austere tannins that make for a full, rounded drink. It closes with a finish endowed with excellent persistence.

Pairings: Perfect with braised meats, fillets and very mature cheeses.
