Castiglion del Bosco is rooted in ancient origins: the estate has maintained the same borders for eight centuries. An ode to the beauty and uniqueness of a place that covers approximately two thousand hectares, a place where biodiversity and microclimate contribute to setting the rhythm of nature, and where winegrowing can bring out expressions that can be found nowhere else in the world.
Originally a small village belonging to the municipality of Montalcino, today Castiglion del Bosco is a company whose history intertwines with Brunello: the winery is one of the founding members of the Consorzio in 1967.
Castiglion del Bosco is one of the top five producers with the vastest acreage in Montalcino, but vineyard management is carried out like in a small winery. There are 62 hectares of vineyards teeming with distinct characteristics and specific identities: a puzzle of diverse soils and microclimates, ideal for exploring and emphasizing the concept of “cru”, which allows the wine’s true identity to express itself. The vineyards are consistently cared for by a trusted and visionary technical team and organic farming – certified since 2016 – is a natural consequence of the ongoing pursuit of balance. This is the result of tailored attention to detail and a deep understanding of every plant, guided by an essential respect for nature and its rhythm.
Aside from the winery, Castiglion del Bosco also provides luxury accommodations in the restored village and scattered villas within the 2,000-hectare estate, as well as a private 18-hole private golf club.

2021 Brunello di Montalcino

Brunello di Montalcino is the authentic expression of the “parcellary” soul of the Capanna vineyard, based on tailoring attention and respect for the unique characteristics of its terroir.

2021 Campo del Drago Brunello di Montalcino
Brunello di Montalcino DOCG
Sangiovese
Red wine
Campo del Drago is the first among the Castiglion del Bosco crus and comes from one of the company's historic plots, as well as the highest in the Capanna vineyard. The name derives from the shape of the moat that delimits its perimeter, which, in the eyes of the farmers, resembled that of a dragon's tail. The first year of production was 1999.
(auto translated text)
Campo del Drago è il primo tra i cru di Castiglion del Bosco e proviene da una delle parcelle storiche dell’azienda, nonché la più alta del vigneto Capanna. Il nome deriva dalla forma del fossato che ne delimita il perimetro, la quale, agli occhi dei contadini, ricordava quella della coda di un drago. La prima annata di produzione è il 1999.
