The 2004 Villa Castiglione (70% Sangiovese, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon) is a super-finessed wine with layers of delicate dark red cherries, tobacco and underbrush. Medium in body, it offers outstanding purity and definition with a gorgeous, long finish. It is a great effort from Bisci. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2019.
