2012 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Millecento, Castiglione del Bosco

Expressive cherry aromas with the barrel ageing adding exotic spice and woodsmoke. Full, rich and powerful on the palate, with silky tannins. A masterful single-vineyard Brunello.

"The Castiglion del Bosco 2012 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Millecento offers toasted notes of espresso and roasted nut in a first aromatic wave. After that, you get dark, plump fruit with candied cherry and crème de cassis. Those rich flavors are tied tightly together at the core, resulting in balance and unity. This wine is made according to criteria that emphasizes both richness and smoothness."
