Lightweight Castiglion Del Bosco Brunello Di Montalcino Campo Del Drago 2016 With A 55% Price Cut [1I4rgKlZ]

95 points - Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, November 2020

The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Campo del Drago (with only 8,000 bottles made) comes from a little vineyard measuring just 1.5 hectares. It is located at a high 450 meters above sea level, and what this parcel lacks in size, it makes up for in terms of view and exposure. The entire Castiglion del Boco property is surrounded by thick shrub oak forests, as the very name of the estate suggests ("bosco" means "forest" in Italian), with wild boar, roe deer and foxes (plenty of foxes). You most certainly smell aromas of underbrush and forest floor in this wine along with dark fruit, cherry and plum. - Monica Larner
