B-21 Top Recommendation

From an outstanding year described as “the vintage we’ve all been waiting for” by Eric Guido of Vinous, the powerful and elegant 93 pt. 2019 Camigliano Brunello di Montalcino offers fragrant, lush ripe fruit with beautifully balanced acidity and luxurious, polished tannins, a delicious, structured Brunello promising over a decade of longevity and a thrilling value for Brunello fans and lovers of robust Sangiovese wines.

Located in the rolling countryside southwest of the village of Montalcino, Walter Ghezzi purchased the 13^th century Camigliano Castle in 1957, the massive 530 hectare estate surrounded by lush vineyards and expansive olive groves and now run by his son Gualtiero. Among the estate’s 92 hectares of organically farmed vineyards, the Brunello is sourced from 50 hectares planted with Sangiovese Grosso in a mix of sand, clay and marl, situated at 300 meters above sea level and enjoying a south-southwest exposure that ensures even and optimal ripening of the hand harvested grapes. Employing meticulous sorting in the vineyard and crafted in the estate’s new gravity flow cellar, winemaker Sergio Cantini aged the refined 2019 Camigliano Brunello di Montalcino in a mix of Slovenian and French oak barrels for 24 months with 12 months longer in bottle, yielding a beautifully balanced Brunello described By Eric Guido of Vinous as “silky smooth and polished in feel with ripe red berries that flow across a stream of brisk acidity” and affirming Montalcino's reputation for crafting "world-class wines of the highest caliber."

From a top vintage that according to Audrey Frick of Jeb Dunnuck offers “outstanding freshness, incredible balance of richness and a great deal of complexity,” critic and renowned Brunello expert Kerin O’Keefe calls the enticing and classically styled 93 pt. 2019 Camigliano Brunello di Montalcino “the best straight Brunello I ever had from the estate,” a refined and harmonious Brunello that’s ready to enjoy and worthy of cellaring and a win-win for lovers of bold and age worthy Tuscan reds seeking a great deal.

The fruit is on the darker side for the vintage, evoking black cherry, blackberry and dark plum flavors, while earth and wild herb accents add detail. Tightly knit tannins quickly intervene, leaving a compact, powdery feel on the finish. Best from 2027 through 2043. 16,000 cases made, 3,000 cases imported.

The 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino has a ruby/orange color and lifts with a citrus-tinged profile of dried orange peel, preserved cranberries, dusty earth, and sweet Mediterranean herbs. This continues to the palate with elegant structure in its fine tannins, an even spine of acidity, and notes of citrus peel and dried apricot on the finish. This is a very pretty style that will be best enjoyed over the next 10 years. 200,000 bottles produced.

The Camigliano 2019 Brunello di Montalcino offers a combination of dark fruit, ripe blackberry and toasted cardamom or cumin seed from 24 months of aging in large oak casks. This organic wine shows lots of rich concentration and oak-driven intensity that fits within the context of classic Brunello. Ultimately, the wine mirrors a warm growing area with a mix of clay, sand and rocky soils. It delivers easy texture on the mid-palate with chalky tannins. This is a big release of 190,000 bottles.

Lots of dried fruit, such as of figs, dried plums and savory herbs, followed by lingering dried-meat and sweet-and-sour undertones. Medium-bodied with polished tannins. A slightly nutty aftertaste. From organically grown grapes. Drink now or hold.
