Castiglion del Bosco Brunello di Montalcino 2015

"The 2015 vintage is a historical year for Brunello di Montalcino that nobody should miss." - James Suckling

"We recommend going back into the market and buying any top-rated 2015 or 2016 Brunellos. The 2015s are particularly attractive because they drink extremely well now but will age beautifully for the future. - James Suckling

Castiglion del Boscos "normale" Brunello overgår sig selv og stort set alle andre vine i årgangen. En sjælden kombi af fylde, power, friskhed, struktur og ... topratings! Der bliver kamp om de få flasker...

Anmeldelser af Castiglion del Bosco Brunello di Montalcino 2015

97/100 James Suckling
”Wonderful aromas of flowers, plums, terracotta and white pepper. Intense, yet ever so subtle. Medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and a long and intense finish. Shows excellent length."

95/100 International Wine Report
"Delicate and Mediterranean hints with notes of cherries, raspberries, rosemary and sage leaves. Talcum powder in the background to give complexity. Medium full body, soft and defined tannins and a light finish based on great drinkability and the desire to return to the glass."

94/100 Robert Parker
"Castiglion del Bosco is the Montalcino estate owned by Massimo Ferragamo of the Ferragamo shoe and fashion dynasty. This pretty wine shows precision and focus with a rich, fruit-forward style. The 2015 Brunello di Montalcino is a shapely Tuscan red with the softness and velvety intensity to pair with a winter meat dish by an open fireplace. The wine glides smoothly over the palate, imparting aromas of black cherry, dried blackberry, plum, toasted spice and crushed flower. This harvest, which came about a week earlier than expected, resulted in a measured and carefully balanced Sangiovese from a generous vintage."

94/100 Vinous
"Good deep red. Complex aromas of redcurrant, raspberry, graphite, mocha, and mint. Focused and suave with very attractive sweetness and standout purity to its flavors of red berries and candied flowers. Finishes with polished tannins and outstanding length."

93+/100 Falstaff
"Shining ruby red. Fragrant, open-hearted nose of rose hips and wild strawberries, delicate cassis, hearty and inviting. Polished palate, elegant use of wood, high drinking flow, very juicy, also salty, compact in approach and course."

93/100 Wine & Spirits Magazine

93/100 Wine Spectator
"Tightly wound, with tart cherry, graphite, earth and cigar box flavors, aligned to an edge of firm tannins. Flirts with rusticity, yet remains tense and smoldering. Should gain more length as it opens."

92/100 Wine Enthusiast
"Tobacco, leather and dark-spice aromas take center stage along with a pretty whiff of violet. The full-bodied, rounded palate shows dried cherry, licorice and ground clove while fine-grained tannins lend polished support."

92/100 Intravino

Anbefales til lam, oksekød, kraftige pastaretter, svampe og lagrede oste. Nyd vinen ved 16-18°C

Resultatet af denne skarpe udvælgelsesproces er en førsteklassesvin, der står knviskarpt!

Om Castiglion del Bosco

Legendariske Castiglion del Bosco er så meget mere end bare en vingård! Det er også stedet for en restaureret middelalderlandsby, komplet med en borg, et tårn og omkring 2.000 hektar skov. Ruinerne er blevet omhyggeligt restaureret, og nye bygninger er blevet opført i traditionel toscansk stil, hvilket skaber et imponerende 5-stjernet luksusresort med en 18-hullers golfbane og omfattende faciliteter.

Ejendommen huser et topmoderne vineri inklusive en stor fadkælder med hundredevis af barriques. Som en historisk vingård, og medstifter af Brunello-konsortiet i 1967, dyrker Castiglion del Bosco nu 62 hektar Sangiovese og er certificeret økologisk siden 2016. Under ledelse af vinmager Cecilia Leoneschi har vinene en stil, der tenderer mod en moderne, egetræskrydret profil. Stribevis af topratings årgang efter årgang rangerer Castiglion del Bosco i den absolutte kvalitetsmæssige elite af Brunello-producenter. Ejendommen producerer flere "luksus-Brunello’er", herunder den berømte enkeltmarks-vin Campo del Drago. Derudover driver Castiglion del Bosco i Maremma ejendommen Tenuta Prima Pietra, der berømmes for fremragende supertoscanske vine baseret på franske druesorter.
