The score for 1997 Castelgiocondo Marchesi de Frescobaldi Lamaione Toscana IGT is 96 from Wine Spectator and the tasting note - Dark ruby color, with hints of brick red on the rim. Beautiful aromas of blackberry, violet and fresh porcini. Full-bodied, with round and velvety tannins and a long, long finish. Racy and refined. Beautiful texture. A fabulous finish that lasts for minutes.--1997 Italian blind retrospective.
