Product Notes

The Castiglion del Bosco Millecento Riserva Brunello di Montalcino is an exquisite Italian wine renowned for its complexity and refinement. With origins in Tuscany, this Brunello has bold notes of ripe, dark berries, hints of lavender, coupled with a smoky undercurrent that delivers richness to its personality. Its full-bodied nature, vibrant tannins and a velvety finish amplify its charm. Aged extensively in oak barrels, it emanates a subtle spice aroma adding to its opulence. The beautiful integration of fruit, acidity and tannins in this splendid vintage make it an iconic accompaniment to a gourmet meal. A true epitome of Tuscan viticulture.

Tasting Notes

The wine preserved the acidic crispness that keeps it very young – thanks to the pH level. At the same time, we can perceive its extraordinary longevity, thanks to a very long finish. Notes of soil and graphite are combined with delicate hints of violets and cedar. The mouthfeel is enhanced by a great balance and an incredible length of drinking
