Description
In a nutshell:
A youthful and fresh Tuscan red from the hills around Montalcino.
The lowdown:
Rosso de Montalcino is the baby brother DOC of the famous Brunello di Montalcino wines made in the same part of Tuscany. Indeed, Castiglion del Bosco are one of Brunello's most prestigious producers. After fermentation the wine was aged for 6 months in a mix of new and second use French barriques before bottling and further ageing for 6 months before release. The wine is wonderfully elegant and refreshing with bright, ripe cherry flavours and a fine mineral stucture held together with as subtle tannic backbone.
The Producer:
Castiglion del Bosco, one of the founding members of the 'Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino' was an estate somewhat resting on its laurels before being purchased by Massimo Ferragamo in 2003. Since then it has been revitalised with major investment in the vineyards and winery and has re-claimed its palce as one of the leading Brunello properties. Its position, isolated in the Val d'Orcia National Park a UNESCO world heritage site, to the northwest of Montalcino and away from other producers and sources of pollution, makes it well suited to organic cultivation. Locally trained oenologist, Cecilia Leoneschi, who has been working at the winery since 2003 oversees the vineyards and the cellar and is responsible for the refined style of Brunello which is one of their hallmarks.
When to drink:
A good pair with things like chargrilled chicken.
Suitable for Vegans
