Frescobaldi Giramonte 2006 is an iconic expression of Tuscan winemaking, crafted by the historic Frescobaldi family, whose legacy spans over 700 years. This wine, a sophisticated blend of Merlot and Sangiovese, hails from the esteemed vineyards of Tuscany, where the 2006 vintage benefited from ideal growing conditions, yielding grapes with intense flavor and structure. Pouring a deep ruby with hints of garnet, Giramonte reveals a complex bouquet of blackberries, ripe plums, and cassis, complemented by layers of dark chocolate, sweet spices, and a touch of graphite. Subtle herbal notes, reminiscent of Tuscan scrubland, add depth to the aroma. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with robust yet polished tannins that provide a sturdy backbone. Its vibrant acidity balances the richness, leading to a long, complex finish that hints at truffle and minerality. Fermented in stainless steel and aged in French oak barriques, Giramonte showcases Frescobaldi’s commitment to precision and elegance. This wine pairs beautifully with hearty dishes such as braised short ribs, wild mushroom risotto, or aged Pecorino Toscano. Its significant aging potential makes it a treasure for collectors, though it is drinking splendidly now, with its flavors having melded into a harmonious whole. The Frescobaldi estate’s dedication to sustainable practices and innovation ensures that Giramonte remains a pinnacle of Tuscan artistry, blending tradition with modern finesse. Ideal for special occasions, this wine elevates any dining experience with its depth and sophistication. 0,75L
