It is made from 100% \u003cstrong\u003eSangiovese\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes, the emblematic grape variety of the region, which finds its maximum expression on these hills.\nThe soil, rich in galestro — a schist rock that promotes drainage and gives elegance to the wines — combined with the altitude and exposure of the rows, contributes to creating a Brunello with a refined and intense style. A wine of important body and balanced structure, capable of authentically narrating the beauty and complexity of its terroir.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage details\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe 2020 vintage was characterized by a perfect balance between sun and rain, which ensured regular and complete ripening of the grapes. The temperature excursions between day and night preserved the aromas and freshness of the fruit, while the harvest took place at full phenolic maturity, ensuring a rich and harmonious aromatic expression.\nThe result is an elegant 2020 Brunello, with silky tannins and a well-defined minerality, which highlight its contemporary character and adherence to the territory.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVinification and aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nFermentation occurs spontaneously, with \u003cstrong\u003eindigenous yeasts\u003c\/strong\u003e naturally present on the skins, a choice that preserves the authenticity of the fruit and the terroir. Maceration on the skins lasts approximately 20 days, an ideal time to extract color and structure without compromising finesse.\nThis is followed by a long aging of 24 months in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, which gives depth and complexity to the wine, rounding its tannic texture and imparting elegant spicy notes. After bottling, the Brunello rests further in glass, to refine its harmony before being released onto the market.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2020 - Castiglion del Bosco presents a \u003cstrong\u003edeep ruby red color\u003c\/strong\u003e with garnet reflections, clear and brilliant, a sign of great integrity and care in the cellar.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nOn the nose, it reveals a broad and fine bouquet: ripe red fruits like cherry and plum blend with floral notes of violet and spicy hints of cinnamon and sweet tobacco. Balsamic nuances and hints of undergrowth then emerge, completing its complex aromatic profile.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTaste\u003c\/h3\u003e\nOn the palate it is \u003cstrong\u003estructured and harmonious\u003c\/strong\u003e, with dense but well-polished tannins and a freshness that gives great balance.
