Camigliano Description
CLIMATE : The 2020 harvest brought reduced yields, but the grapes presented an excellent balance and a perfect health condition. In Camigliano we have wines with very intense colors and aromas, with great balance and personality, even with the passage of time during aging. The vintage began with a rather mild winter. Spring was very good in terms of climate, with abundant rains, but which did not affect the health status of the plants, which also developed with excellent and robust vegetation. The spring rainfall allowed the accumulation of important water reserves in the soil, which helped the plants to overcome a hot and dry summer, without rain and with rather high heat peaks, with peaks above 40 ° C between July and August. .. Fortunately, rain occurred at the end of August, which rehydrated the soil and vegetation; then the month of September (fundamental for Sangiovese) was fabulous and the climate allowed for a fantastic ripening of the grapes. The wines obtained have really important tonalities and intensities, among the best in recent years; The acid component is evident, and the freshness of the aromas is manifested from the first tastings; these two components: a remarkable structure and freshness, but already in great balance. We hope for one of the longest-lived vintages of recent years

Wine Spectator: 95 Points
There's bright cherry and strawberry fruit in this elegant red, along with rose, mineral and wild herb notes, plus a hint of black pepper. Harmonious and vibrant, this is fluid while cruising to the long, detailed aftertaste. Best from 2027 through 2043.

A fine and subtle Brunello with cherries, candied watermelon, flowers and some orange peel. Medium-bodied with fresh acidity and a bright finish. From organically grown grapes.
Jeb Dunnuck: 92 Points
The 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino is a transparent bright red color and is ripe with aromas of strawberry preserve, candied flowers, sweet herbs, and mossy earth. Mediumframed, it's vibrant on the palate, with a linear feel, fine tannins, and bright acidity, leading with notes of orange citrus through a rather long finish and a touch of warmth. It retains good purity and energy and is very well-balanced. Drink 2026-2040.
Vinous: 91 Points
Woodland herbs and earth tones come together with dried black cherries as the 2020 Brunello di Montalcino opens in the glass. This splashes across the palate with ease, lifted and energetic, with wild berry fruits and perfumed inner florals riding a wave of brisk acidity. It leaves a pleasantly bitter tinge and hints of spice, tapering off with medium length and a sour cherry concentration. A nice effort, yet I crave more mid-palate depth to take it to the next level.
