Castiglion del Bosco

Brunello di Montalcino

The estate of Castiglion del Bosco grows only Sangiovese, and its entire line of wines is an expression of the two local denominations: three different interpretations of Brunello and the Rosso di Montalcino. But winemaking rigor and Sangiovese are not the only voices of Castiglion del Bosco, since the winery speaks with an international voice as well. Prima Pietra, the second vineyard property of Massimo Ferragamo, lies in Riparbella, on the Tuscan coast, with its 11 hectares (27 acres) of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

Brunello di Montalcino Riserva DOCG

Elegance, character, and persistence are what make Millecento 2015 a wine for the ages. The barrel aging emphasized the characteristics of the vintage, enhancing the Sangiovese aromas, wonderful balance, and superb tannins. A great acidity supports the superb aging potential.

Rosso di Montalcino DOC

Rosso di Montalcino Gauggiole Cru is a young, refreshing Sangiovese, whose name derives from the location of the vineyards, historically titled after the farmstead of the same name, located in the north-east part of the estate. It is the cherry-pick of the grapes from that particular area.
