About the Castiglion Del Bosco Millecento Brunello Di Montalcino Riserva
Castiglion del Bosco "Millecento" Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a majestic, foundational masterpiece of Sangiovese, named in honor of the estate's ancient roots which trace back to the year 1100 (Millecento). Sourced from an elite, hand-selected 8-hectare parcel of historic vines planted in 1998, the vineyard sits at 400 meters elevation on clay-calcareous soils rich with galestro (clayey schist). This certified organic Riserva is exclusively produced in stellar vintages. It undergoes an extensive gravity-fed vinification process with prolonged maceration, followed by an epic aging regimen: 36 months in large, 30 to 50 hectoliter French oak casks (botti), 6 to 12 months in unglazed concrete vats, and a final year of refinement in the bottle.
In the glass, it pours a dark, luminous garnet color. The bouquet is deeply layered and aristocratic, unrolling intense aromas of wild blackberries, brandied plums, and wilted violets, beautifully underscored by sophisticated notes of truffles, graphite, cedar, and sweet tobacco. On the palate, it is full-bodied, robust, and extraordinarily structured. A dense, concentrated core of dark savory fruit is framed by big, muscular, yet highly polished tannins. A vibrant line of naturally crisp acidity ensures immense tension and verticality, driving the wine into a spectacularly long, spicy finish accented by a liquid-stone minerality and lingering notes of lavender. Built with immaculate balance and depth, this wine is designed for decades of cellar evolution.
Food Pairing: Tortelli stuffed with Florentine pot roast, roasted wild boar loin, slow-braised beef short ribs with black truffles, or aged Pecorino Toscano.
