Castiglion del Bosco Brunello di Montalcino represents the elegance and strength of Tuscany’s most celebrated terroir. The estate, founded in the thirteenth century, lies within the north-western quadrant of the Montalcino appellation. Here, Sangiovese finds exceptional expression in soils combining clay, limestone, and marl. Altitude and exposure ensure long ripening and remarkable aromatic precision.
The winemaking follows a philosophy of respect for vineyard and grape. Grapes are hand-harvested, selected, and vinified with precision. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel to retain clarity of fruit and varietal purity. The wine then matures in fine French oak, primarily tonneaux, for a minimum of two years. Ageing continues in bottle, building structure and finesse. Every stage enhances harmony, elegance, and longevity.
In the glass, Castiglion del Bosco Brunello di Montalcino shows an intense ruby core with garnet reflections. Aromas emerge gradually, weaving together red cherry, wild berries, violets, and subtle notes of tobacco leaf. Hints of undergrowth, leather, and spice follow, creating layered complexity. On the palate, the wine displays power balanced by refinement. Tannins are fine yet persistent, supporting a vibrant core of ripe fruit. Acidity remains bright, ensuring freshness throughout the finish. The aftertaste lingers with echoes of dried herbs, forest floor, and mineral tones.
This Brunello excels in versatility. It matches beautifully with roast lamb, bistecca alla fiorentina, and mature pecorino. Decanting enhances expression and reveals layers of depth and character. The wine will evolve gracefully for decades, rewarding patience with increased complexity and silkiness. Collectors prize it for reliability, typicity, and remarkable ageing potential.
Castiglion del Bosco Brunello di Montalcino embodies the union of heritage, vineyard, and meticulous craft. It is a reference-point Brunello, combining history with modern precision. Every bottle offers a vivid portrait of Montalcino’s grandeur.
