Castiglion del Bosco, Brunello di Montalcino 2012

Castiglion del Bosco har utvivlsomt været en af Danmarks mest solgt Brunelloer i de sidste årgange - vi har solgt tusinder og atter tusinder.

Klassisk, klar Brunello-kulør, med den elegante bouquet, der kendetegner Castiglion del Boscos Brunelloer med fine fadnoter og mørke kirsebær.

2012 er klart en kraftigere og mere dominerende Brunello end 2011.  Den er lige frigivet fra slottet, og de fede tanniner er unge og træder klart i karakter. Men den store, frugtfulde koncentration er også intensiveret, og der er bare mere af det hele. Indsmigrende med fine kryddernoter og lang, lang afslutning med tydeligt aftryk fra fadet.  Alk. 13,5%.

Hvis du vil drikke den nu, så dekanter den og brug den til kødfulde retter - eller, langt bedre, læg den i kælderen de næste 3-4 år. Den vil modne fremragende.

96 Point James Suckling:
This shows pure and fresh fruit that many others don't have. Also, there are plenty of linear tannins. Precise and beautiful. Medium to full body. Persistent finish. Better in 2019. - Wednesday, November 30, 2016.

94 Point Winespectator:
A bright, cherry-laced red, accented by iron, earth, tar and tobacco notes. Though lean and tight on the finish, this is lively, with a lingering aftertaste of cherry, tobacco and mineral. Best from 2019 through 2032

This is the wine which most symbolizes Castiglion del Bosco. In fact it strongy represents the vineyard used. Its strenghts are its drinkability and complexity.

The vineyard Capanna, where this beautiful wine comes from, is unique in Montalcino for its climatic characteristics and location. The organic management of it enhances the expression of its terroir .

The wine is aged 24 months partly in barriques and partly in French oak barrels of 30 and 50 hl capacity.
