This wine is made from 100% Merlot grapes sourced from the prestigious Lamaione vineyard, located in the heart of Montalcino in Tuscany. Frescobaldi Tenuta Castelgiocondo Lamaione Toscana IGT is an exceptional wine that showcases the best of Tuscan winemaking.

Tasting Notes

An impressive bouquet of great aromatic richness and a complexity, Lamaione 2014 expresses blackcurrant, cherry, raspberry and delicate notes of vanilla and black pepper. On the palate, the wine is enveloping with velvety tannins and is rich in black berried fruit flavours that fill the palate with lingering persistence.
