Castiglion del Bosco
Castiglion del Bosco
Castiglion del Bosco is an iconic estate with records dating back to the 11th century, as well as being another key participant in the creation of the Consorzio del Brunello di Montalcino. After many years of underperformance the winery was purchased in 2003 by fashion mogul, Massimo Ferragamo, who immediately began an extremely ambitious restoration project to return it to its former glory. Only the very best will do at Castiglion del Bosco, from the immaculate 62-hectares of south-east facing vines to the purpose-built state-of-the-art winery, as well as the combination of superstar winemaking team of Cecilia Leoneschi (pictured), and long-term consultant oenologist Beppe Caviola. In August 2023, the winemaking team was further bolstered with the announcement of Elena Penna and Luca Currado (formerly of the famous Piedmont producer. Vietti) as additional consultants with a particular focus on terroir. There is no expense spared in their quest to produce world-class Brunello di Montalcino, and as a result, Castiglion del Bosco has emerged from the shadows and rightfully taken its place on the world stage.
