Over the past few years, we've been repeatedly surprised by the wonderful style and value from Camigliano's Brunellos. The benchmark 2019 vintage saw this hidden gem score a big hit with our customers, and now the newly released 2020 takes that same overachieving class to the next level with a glowing 95-point score from Wine Spectator.
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 2020 in a mix of Slovenian and French oak barrels for 24 months with 12 months in bottle, yielding a "harmonious and vibrant" Brunello.
As the 2020 Brunellos have come to market, it's becoming clear that this vintage is a more than worthy follow-up to the heralded 2019s, and best of all, discoveries like Camigliano show that they're among the smartest buys in Italian wine at the moment. |
