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

Brunello di Castiglion del Bosco stems from the uniqueness of the Capanna vineyard, located northwest of Montalcino. The distinctive features of this vineyard, such as its natural isolation, altitude, and soil, mainly characterized by the presence of clay 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 on the vines very vigorous. Green cultivation required a lot of care and work to allow the vine to reach vegetative balance. These weather conditions continued into the first part of summer, characterized by cool days and abundant rains. The late summer was hot and dry, which allowed good ripening, albeit slightly ahead of the usual schedule. 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 rather low sugar content, perfect for fresher, more vibrant wines. The excellent varietal expressions and very ripe tannins will give rise 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 market release.
