Where Brunello di Montalcino is born, a place full of charm and history
The historic Frescobaldi estate in the CastelGiocondo village, high above Montalcino, is a medieval stronghold from the 1100s defending the road from the sea to Siena. In 1800, one of the first Brunello di Montalcino wines in history was produced, just as the commander of Siena’s troops, Guidoriccio di Montemassi, led the attack on the castle of Montemassi. For this reason, the famous scene of the commander on the attack painted by the Sienese painter Simone Martini is printed on the labels of the wines produced at the Tenuta di CastelGiocondo.
The history-rich estate boasts architectural and artistic beauty. Today, it houses the contemporary art collection of Artists for Frescobaldi. The collection can be visited by appointment.
