Castiglion del Bosco
With 1,750 hectares of grounds peppered
with 21 individual guest villas for “club members,”
this is far more than a wine estate. Named for the 13th
century castle on the grounds, Castiglion del Bosco has
been producing wine since the 1800’s, although the
results were traditionally consumed by the proprietors themselves.
Only recently, when an outside company purchased the estate,
did production expand and appear on the international market.
Today the exclusive retreat here does not detract from the
excellent quality of their wines. Fifty-five hectares are
dedicated to vineyards for Brunello production, and Massimo
Ferragamo just entered the scene as partner in ownership
along with Marilyn & Corky Severson. With Ferragamo,
best known in the fashion world, the winery stepped up their
efforts in the vineyards and cellar, and enologist Nicolo
d’Afflitto now leads the team.
