Brunello di Montalcino Bosco

Bosco is one of Stella di Campalto's site-named Brunello cuvées from her Podere San Giuseppe estate in Castelnuovo dell'Abate, near the Abbey of Sant'Antimo. The blend draws from four south- and southwest-facing plots - Bosco, San Giuseppe, Ulivo and Curva - between 210 and 290 metres on a property with twelve distinct soil types. Fermentation is spontaneous in small wooden vats of 20 to 40 hectolitres with no pied de cuve, followed by around 34 months in 15-17 hectolitre casks and roughly 30 months in bottle. Farming has been organic since 1996 and biodynamic since 2002, with output across all Brunello bottlings only around 14,000 bottles.
