Castiglion del Bosco Brunello di Montalcino 2006

A plush, richly textured Brunello showing generous black fruit, ripe cherry, tobacco, leather and cola notes. The palate is smooth and polished, supported by silky tannins and persistent depth. This mature Sangiovese balances concentrated fruit with savory complexity, delivering a refined and expressive Montalcino character.

Food Pairing: Pairs best with braised beef short ribs, rosemary lamb, or wild mushroom pappardelle.

93 Points - James Suckling

Wonderful aromas of ripe strawberries, blackberries and flowers. Full body, with silky tannins and a delicate, elegant and pretty finish. I like the length to this wine. All class. Best after 2013.

93 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Plush and softly textured, this modern expression of Brunello boasts generous tones of black fruit, cherry, tobacco, leather and cola with smooth, silky tannins. You could age this wine many more years, or drink it sooner thanks to the inherent softness here.

92 Points - Wine Spectator

A deft use of oak rounds out this red, but also blunts the aromas a bit. Flavors of tobacco and plum, with a dash of vanilla, gather steam through the finish. Solid, if not very expressive right now. Best from 2012 through 2023. 2,000 cases imported.
