AboutCastiglion del Bosco
Castiglion del Bosco’s modern wine history includes joining the Brunello di Montalcino Consortium as one of its 25 founding members in 1967. Massimo and Chiara Ferragamo acquired and restored the estate in 2003; ownership transferred to an international family office in 2022, with the Ferragamos remaining involved. At Montalcino, Sangiovese anchors Brunello and the single-vineyard Campo del Drago cru, while related Tenuta Prima Pietra in coastal Riparbella focuses on Bordeaux varieties. The two estates present distinct Tuscan sites within one wine project, preserving each name and origin in the connected catalogue.

Italian Red
Ripe red fruit leads a mature, savoury profile, with earth, cedar and polished oak adding depth. Dried herbs, warm spice and a quiet mineral note emerge with air. The palate is medium-bodied and balanced, its fruit meeting firm but fine tannins and steady acidity. Vanilla recedes into the background as the wine opens, allowing cherry, woodland detail and a lightly bitter note to shape the long, composed finish.

Italian Red
Generous and intense, showing crunchy red fruit, liquorice and fresh pepper leaf, with a darker, slightly savoury edge underneath. The palate is broad and juicy, balancing ripe fruit with firm structure and a sense of lift. Tannins are present but well integrated, and the wine builds steadily rather than feeling heavy. The finish is persistent, carrying spice, dried herbs and red fruit long after each sip.
