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.

Ripe and opulent, boasting macerated cherry, plum, eucalyptus and iron flavors matched to a muscular structure. Shows beefy tannins that take over on the finish, yet this feels balanced, with a beam of cherry persisting through the conclusion. Best from 2026 through 2043. 16,000 cases made, 3,250 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add

A certified organic wine, the Camigliano 2018 Brunello di Montalcino is medium dark in appearance with round and ripe aromas of cherry confit, blackberry tart, black rose and balsam herb. The wine is textured and rich; however, the alcohol is too high at 15%. That power takes away from the long-term potential of delicate Sangiovese and places the grape into a near or medium-term drinking window instead. The wine aged in large oak casks for 24 months, resulting in a generous production of 190,000 bottles.

This red is hallmarked by a bright beam of cherry, strawberry, floral, earth and menthol flavors, with an elegant profile giving way to dense tannins as this winds down on the finish. Fine balance. Best from 2025 through 2040. 14,000 cases made, 3,250 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Brunello di Montalcino Select to Add

Camigliano is an incredible property with a beautiful castle perched on a hill with commanding views of the entire southern half of the Montalcino appellation. It enjoys a special quality of light and lots of open panoramic spaces. The 2017 Brunello di Montalcino is redolent of cherry cola, and the wine has an especially herbal or menthol note that is a bit monotone in this dry and hot growing season. It registers 15% alcohol and stemmy tannins. This is a punchy, unusual and somewhat quirky Brunello (with 170,000 bottles released).
