Castiglion del Bosco Winery

About

Castiglion del Bosco is a sprawling, 2,000‑hectare estate situated in the heart of Tuscany’s Val d’Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The 2000‑acre property blends dense forest, rolling hills, and a medieval hunting reserve that offers visitors a glimpse of the region’s natural and cultural heritage. The estate is famed for producing some of the most prestigious Brunello di Montalcino wines, including the single‑village “Campo del Drago” and the renowned “Millecento” and “Riserva” bottlings. Over the past decades, the Ferragamo family has overseen extensive restoration, restoring the medieval castle, the 12th‑century San Michele Church, and the surrounding landscape to showcase the estate’s rich history. Visitors are welcomed with a private tour that showcases the vineyards, the wine‑cellars, and the main estate building, providing hands‑on tastings of the signature Brunello, as well as other local vintages. The tours include a stroll through the historic ruins of the medieval castle and a visit to San Michele Church, whose 14th‑century frescoes tell the story of Siena’s artistic heritage. After the wine tasting, guests can dine in the estate’s restaurant or relax in the scenic gardens, enjoying the panoramic views over Montalcino. Whether you are a seasoned oenophile, a history enthusiast, or a family looking for a unique Tuscan experience, Castiglion del Bosco offers a blend of agriculture, architecture, and respectful preservation of local traditions that make it one of the region’s must‑visit destinations.
