Castiglion del Bosco 2008 Brunello di Montalcino
Owned by Massimo Ferragamo of the famed Italian fashion house, this beautiful wine presents the round and velvety side of Sangiovese Grosso, with lingering tones of dark fruit, prune, chocolate and spice. The wine shows structure and acidity at the back for long aging potential and sports a modern, soft personality overall. The annata Brunello rivals vineyard designate Campo del Drago this year.
