Castiglion del Bosco was the first to produce and bottle Brunello di Montalcino in the sixties and today represents one of the most important properties of this region. This estate prides itself on the highest level of quality combined with respect for tradition.
Campo del Drago is surprisingly fresh on the nose with floral and citrus notes. The perfectly completed phenolic maturity is distinguished in the mouth, with a tense and long finish.
Serve with rich meat dishes, game, roasted meats and strong cheese.
95 Points – James Suckling
Fascinating nose of pungent mushroom, almost truffly notes, together with ripe red berries and a twist of more exotic dates. Full-bodied with an excellent balance of ripe fruit, velvety but not chewy tannins and a long, tasty finish.
95 Points – Decanter
It’s more brooding that the classic Brunello, showing sweet spice and cedar-infused black currants and plum. Full but not rich, it’s shored up by gravelly tannins and scores of acidity. The palate hints at forest undergrowth, mint and stone, though this will need a few more years to reveal all of its nuances.
94 Points – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Packaged in a heavy glass bottle, the Castiglion del Bosco 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Campo del Drago was born in one of the most beautiful panoramic vineyards you will ever see in Tuscany. This wine pays homage to this magical place. It delivers extra intensity and power that you most definitely perceive on all the senses. There is more fruit weight here, more black and purple berries and more soft concentration that drives a long finish.
93 Points – Wine Spectator
Though rich and focused on a core of bright cherry fruit, this vibrant red also evokes iron, wild herbs and Mediterranean scrub. This has visible but well-integrated tannins, remaining juicy and extending through the long finish.
