Castiglion del Bosco has solidified their position as one of the most prominent estates in Montalcino, and were one of the founding members of the 'Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino'. In the vineyards they practice organic farming and harvest by hand, whilst the cellar is completely gravity fed and the wines are fermented with local yeasts. The Brunellos have a Burgundian flair while still being deeply rooted in the traditions of the area.
Their Brunellos are aged for a minimum of 24 months in oak, followed by 24 months in bottle. The sought after location in Campo Del Drago, perched at the top one of the tallest hills in Montalcino, gives the grapes a favourable sea breeze resulting in wines that are sensual and delicate, with floral notes and sleek minerality. Named after the estate’s founding year, 1100 (Millecento in Italian), this wine is the pinnacle of Castiglion del Bosco’s production.
Optimal drinking window: 2028 - 2040
What the critics say:
"Blueberries with violets, dark olives and a touch of charcoal. The palate has voluminous, pretty fruit restrained by some tight yet polished tannins. Concludes compact and firm. Best after 2026."
"Black tea mixes with wilted violets, blood orange and dried strawberries as the layered and complex 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Millecento blossoms in the glass. This is a model of elegance, silken and seamless yet lifted and spry. Mineral-drenched red berry fruits and hints of citrus swirl beneath an air of violet inner florals. The finish is spicy and long with sweet tannins and a sensation of liquid stone. Echoes of lavender slowly fade."
