“The complexity and beauty of 2016 Castiglion del Bosco Brunello is really something with cherry, walnut, tobacco and cigar-box character. Sweet cherries. It’s full-bodied and deep with super intensity and power. Layered and beautiful. Really refined tannins. Some whole-berry fermentation gives this much added character. Very complex finish that goes on forever!”

“Much effort went into scrutinizing these Brunelli to find the worthy candidate for our Best in Show collection -- and here it is. Translucent black-red in colour, shading to a glowing garnet rim, with refined, artfully composed scents of subdued berry fruits, warm summer forest, dried mushrooms and soft suede. This 2016 Castiglion del Bosco Brunello is intense, deep, perfectly pitched in structural terms between lively, well-rounded acidity and brisk, sober tannins: a dignified, grave yet rewarding wine for a fine dinner. It is fully accessible now, yet the quality of its fruit and its balance suggest many years’ ageing potential, too. Enjoy from 2022-2040.”
