Description

1975 Brunello di Montalcino – Castiglion del Bosco (Tuscany, Italy)

A rare, fully mature Brunello showing the perfumed, savoury side of long-aged Sangiovese Grosso. Brick-garnet with a broad tawny rim, it opens on dried cherry and cranberry, rose petal and violet, with cedar, leather and sweet tobacco, plus hints of orange peel, black tea and a gentle balsamic/underbrush note. Mid-weight and silken on the palate: lively, old-school acidity carries red-cherry fruit, dried herbs and subtle porcini; tannins are fine and resolved, the finish tapering with cherry skin, cedar spice and dried flowers.

Producer note: Castiglion del Bosco is one of Montalcino’s historic estates on the cooler north-west side, where altitude and galestro soils favour elegance and aromatic lift. This mature bottle is a textbook example of the estate’s classical style at full tertiary maturity.

Serve: 16–18 °C. Stand upright 12–24 hours; very gentle decant for sediment just before pouring.
Food pairing: Roast lamb or chicken with herbs, pappardelle al ragù, porcini risotto, aged pecorino.
