Brunello di Montalcino Casale del Bosco

Brunello di Montalcino Casale del Bosco is one of Tuscany's most prestigious wines, produced in the territory of Montalcino, a hilly area located south of Siena. This area is characterized by a temperate climate, with cold winters and hot, dry summers, ideal for growing vines. The Casale del Bosco vineyard covers about 20 hectares, located at an altitude of 300-350 meters above sea level. The soil is mainly clay and limestone, with the presence of skeleton, which helps give the wine its typical structure and complexity. Brunello di Montalcino Casale del Bosco is made exclusively from Sangiovese grapes, locally called "Brunello." This grape variety is particularly suited to this area, thanks to its ability to adapt to different types of soil and climate. The production process of Brunello di Montalcino Casale del Bosco begins with the harvest, which usually takes place in late September or early October. The grapes are hand-picked and carefully selected to ensure only the best fruit. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to best preserve the aromatic characteristics of the grapes. This is followed by maceration on the skins for about 20-25 days to extract color and tannins. The aging of Brunello di Montalcino Casale del Bosco takes place in Slavonian oak barrels for at least 24 months, followed by further aging in bottles for at least 6 months before release. This long aging process helps give the wine its typical robust and complex structure, with notes of ripe red fruit, spices and tobacco. Brunello di Montalcino Casale del Bosco is a wine of great structure and longevity, perfect for pairing with red meat dishes, game and aged cheeses.
