Castiglion del Bosco’s 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is polished and classically styled, with aromas of ripe cherry, red berries, cedar, rosemary, and a touch of sweet spice.

The palate is medium-bodied and finely textured, showing integrated tannins, bright acidity, and a steady core of mineral-driven fruit. It balances freshness and structure well, finishing long, savory, and clean with a subtle balsamic edge. This has the poise and lift you’d hope for in a well-made Brunello, with enough depth to reward short-term cellaring. Enjoy it with braised short ribs, roast duck, or mushroom risotto.
