2018 Castiglion del Bosco, Brunello di Montalcino - Tuscany DOCG - 6 Bottles (0.75L)

Brunello di Castiglion del Bosco is born from the uniqueness of the Capanna vineyard, located northwest of Montalcino. The distinctive features of this vineyard, such as natural isolation, altitude, and soil, characterized mainly by the presence of clayey schists, impart refined elegance and great personality to this precious wine.

The 2018 vintage at Castiglion del Bosco:
The 2018 vintage was a challenge for both man and vine. The cool, rainy spring made the vegetation of the plants very lush. Green growth required a lot of attention and work to allow the plant to reach vegetative balance. These weather conditions continued into the first part of summer, characterized by cool days and abundant rainfall. The end of summer was hot and dry, which allowed good ripening, though slightly earlier than usual. In the first half of September, harvest began in the Gauggiole area, on the north side of the estate. The grapes showed excellent acidity and a relatively low sugar content, perfect for fresher and more vibrant wines. The excellent varietal expressions and very ripe tannins will give life to a very recognizable Brunello, with a clear and unique style.

Vinification and aging:
Fermentation occurred at a controlled temperature (28°C) for 18 days. The aging took place in French oak barrels (30-50 hl) and barriques for 24 months. It then continued with bottle aging before being released onto the market.
