Castiglion del Bosco Millecento Brunello di Montalcino 2010 is sourced from a single high-density plot in the Capanna vineyard, where the fruit is nurtured at 460 metres above sea level, benefiting from the unique climatic and geological conditions of the Val d’Orcia. Castiglion del Bosco was acquired by Massimo Ferragamo in 2003 and has since undergone significant investment in both vineyards and winery practices. This 2010 expression represents what is widely considered as one of the all-time great vintages for Brunello.

The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Millecento shows a level of extreme elegance and harmony that I did not find in the 2008 vintage of this same wine. The fact that 2010 is a better vintage is an obvious asset, but I believe that the folks at Castiglion del Bosco have generally switched to a more streamlined wine style across their entire portfolio. This is a very welcome change. The bouquet opens slowly to reveal wild berry, balsam herb and pressed flowers. The wine is more vertical in approach than it is horizontal. In other words, the aromas lift gracefully with balanced intensity and buoyancy. I also suspect that this wine will promise a much longer aging potential compared to past incarnations.
