Castiglion del Bosco Brunello di Montalcino 2012

Castiglion del Bosco Brunello di Montalcino 2012 is a beautifully polished and highly rated expression of 100% Sangiovese. Sourced from the organically managed Capanna vineyard in Montalcino, this vintage is celebrated for its pure, fresh fruit and structural precision. Aged for 24 months in a combination of French oak barriques and large barrels, it displays a bright ruby-red color with classic garnet reflections. The nose is incredibly expressive, offering rich aromas of ripe black cherries, raspberry compote, and delicate floral notes, intricately layered with hints of exotic spice, leather, iron, and tobacco. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied and impeccably balanced, featuring firm, fine-grained linear tannins and vibrant acidity that perfectly frame the dark fruit and savory undertones, concluding in a highly persistent, mineral-driven finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with slow-braised wild boar, robust meat stews, Tuscan-style grilled steaks, wild mushroom pappardelle, and aged Pecorino Toscano cheese.
