WINE DESCRIPTION

Castiglion del Bosco Rosso di Montalcino is a premium red wine produced by the renowned Castiglion del Bosco winery in the Montalcino appellation of Tuscany, Italy. The wine is made from Sangiovese grapes grown in the estate's vineyards, which are situated at an altitude of 350-450 meters above sea level. The vineyards benefit from a unique microclimate and soil composition, which impart distinctive flavors and aromas to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels for a period of time. The resulting wine is a medium-bodied, elegant and complex red with notes of red fruit, spice, and earthy undertones.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Castiglion del Bosco Rosso di Montalcino is a complex and elegant expression of the Sangiovese grape.The nose is filled with intense aromas of black cherry, blackberry jam, and balsamic notes. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and dense with a velvety texture and a long finish. Notes of cedar and tobacco lead to a lingering hint of dark chocolate. This is a well-structured and well-rounded wine that pairs perfectly with grilled meats and hard cheeses.
