Note di degustazione
Dark red hued, the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino Campo Del Drago is more grounded in nature and offers more concentration on the nose, with aromas of licorice, sweet plums, pine, black truffles, and crushed violets. It gains intensity on the palate with a medium to full-bodied frame, hearty tannins, and savory depth with notes of bitter tea leaf and rocky earth on the finish. This commands more time and will do well to see another 6 months to a year in bottle and is an impressive offering from the team of Castiglion del Bosco. Each of these wines are starting to show a change in direction from this estate and seem to offer a softer hand with regard to the resulting wines than I have experienced in the past. Drink 2026-2040.

The Castiglion del Bosco 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Campo del Drago has cola, blackberry, soft tannins and a medium-weight mouthfeel that expands softly over the senses, imparting lasting length and sweet fruit flavors. There are savory or earthy tones as well, with integrated freshness. The Campo del Drago Vineyard rests on the crest of a hill with panoramic views that extend down to southern Tuscany and toward the Tyrrhenian coast.
Dark and savory in the glass, the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Campo del Drago lifts up with a bouquet of grilled herbs, exotic spices, ashen stones and dried wild berries. It’s soft and enveloping, yet there's an energy within. Zesty acidity motivates its tart red fruits, all underscored by a salty core of minerality. This finishes long and staining with a coating of grippy tannins, yet is still remarkably fresh. Rosy inner florals linger. The textures here are stunning, as is the 2019's spry personality. This was fermented using 100% whole clusters.
Lustrous deep ruby. Rich raspberry. Intense nose with chalky, minerally hints and a smoky touch. Lots of sweet juicy raspberry fruit on the palate and coating tannins. Deserves more time. (WS)
