Camigliano

Intense ruby red. Nice bouquet of ripe red fruits and spices. Elegant tannins and much harmony on the palate. A wine for every occasion, young, lively and uncomplicated with lots of Tuscany appeal. SUPERIORE.DE

Bright ruby red Rosso di Montalcino, fresh and clear bouquet, lots of juicy cherry. Also on the palate beautiful cherry fruit, round, smooth, powerful, makes a lot of fun. SUPERIORE.DE

"Lively dark red. Very pretty aromas and flavors of red cherry, peach and plum, made more interesting by herbal and earthy strokes. Juicy and fresh, finishes long, clean and smooth with similar flavors to the aromas. For its price point and category level, an outstanding wine." Vinous

Camigliano's 2016 Brunello di Montalcino shows impressive balance and integrity. It contrasts the delicate sweetness of the fruit beautifully with the ethereal and licorice aromas that just automatically come with Sangiovese when grown on the south side of the spectacular Montalcino appellation. On the palate, it impresses with its balanced intensity and perfectly integrated tannins. The harmonious, soft finish then surprises with playful notes of warm cherry sweetness, which is virtually the footprint of the Camigliano wine identity, complemented then by a fine mineral vein. This is a highly decent wine from Camigliano from a wonderful vintage, in which the winery can fully play off the strengths of nature. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red with a sparkling core. Nose of fresh raspberry, wild strawberry, a hint of orange blossom, reverberating strawberry jam. Slightly saline on the palate, stretches out elegantly with good drinkability, slightly malty in the finish." Falstaff

"The Camigliano 2016 Brunello di Montalcino offers a more robust bouquet compared to its peers, with its dark and saturated fruit. One thing Camigliano has going for it is that it always delivers the characteristics of its environment. In this case, the vines are located in a warm, sun-drenched corner of Tuscany, and the warm ripeness of the fruit is a testament of place. You also get aromas of scorched earth, grilled porcino mushroom and a touch of burnt rubber or summer asphalt." Robert Parker

The new and very elegant selection Paesaggio Inatteso comes from Camigliano's 3.5 ha vineyard "La Magia", which has mineral and calcareous soils. Due to the outstanding grape quality in 2012, the winery decided to vinify it separately. Only 6,600 bottles of this debut vintage were filled. The result is an intense and very pleasant scent of liquorice and dark berries, full-bodied on the palate with clear fruit, silky tannins and a fine mineral undertone in the long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Complex aromas of dried flowers and walnuts follow through to a medium to full body, a solid core of fruit, ripe tannins and a long, flavorful finish." James Suckling

"This is a new entry wine from the historic Camigliano estate. The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino Paesaggio Inatteso offers a more robust style and more impactful aromatic intensity. The bouquet grabs you by the nose, so to speak. This seems to be a super charged version of the Brunello annata with a more luscious and enriched personality. I feel as if Paesaggio Inatteso ("unexpected scenery" in Italian) is crafted as a means of offering consumers a more approachable wine that can be consumed in the near term at their favorite restaurant." Robert Parker

"This is opulent, sporting cherry, raspberry, spice and tobacco flavors. Features a coarse weave of tannins, but the elements hang together nicely, picking up graphite and earth accents on the lingering aftertaste." Wine Spectator

"Bright red with an amber rim. Delicate, perfumed nose of sweet spices, violet and sour red cherries. Fresh and lively, with smooth tannins. The fine-grained, long finish features red berry and floral reminders." Ian d’Agata (vinous.com)

The Paesaggio Inatteso selection comes from Camigliano's 3.5-hectare vineyard "La Magia", which has mineral and calcareous soils. The 2015 edition presents itself more robust and intense than the classic Annata of the house. Bright ruby red. In the nose cherry, raspberry, spice and tobacco aromas, on the palate taut, precise and full of personality. The tannins are soft and well integrated, making it an opulent, powerful and long-lasting pleasure even when young. SUPERIORE.DE

"Aromas of crisp wild berries and violets, underscored by balsamic notes; precise texture with cut and length. Classically noble Sangiovese." Vinum

"Elegant, brilliant ruby garnet. Very fresh and fruity nose, of juicy, freshly plucked cherries, some raspberry and pomegranate. Round and smooth in the base and flow, shows also in the mouth a lot of present berry fruit, polished tannin." Falstaff

"Good dark red. Perfumed red cherry, raspberry and mint on the nose, plus hints of potpourri. Clean flavors of red fruits and spices show a restrained sweetness and a creamy mouthfeel on the long back end. Offers greater delineation and increasing pliancy with air." Vinous

"Enticing flavors of black cherry, plum, iron, leather, earth and tobacco mark this red. Dense tannins and bright acidity lay down structural support. Tips toward the dry side in the balance despite the persistent finish." Wine Spectator

"The purity and focus to this young Brunello is certainly impressive with crushed berries and flowers, as well as burnt orange peel on the nose. Full body. Firm and silky tannins with an intense backbone and focus. A seriously structured and balanced red. Drink after 2022." James Suckling

"This wine sees fruit from a three-hectare site (at 300 meters above sea level) with loamy sand soils. This is a very special wine with a unique set of aromas. It shows pronounced Mediterranean accents of rosemary, lavender and dried basil leaf. The wine's fruit profile is also front and center with wild berry and dried cassis. The mouthfeel is silky, lean and topped off by well integrated tannins." Robert Parker

"Dark shining ruby red. Light strawberry hint on the nose, then ripe cherry and wild berry, shows nuances of pomegranate and dried rose petal. Juicy and clear on the palate, stretches out in many layers, lovely red fruit, with persistence." Falstaff

"Plum and black cherry aromas and flavors highlight this dense, muscular red, accented by wild herb, iron and sanguine notes. Staying vibrant and long, this is balanced, with the quality of tannins in line with the southwestern sector of Montalcino." Wine Spectator

"The Camigliano 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Paesaggio Inatteso is a tiny production of just 2,600 bottles, all drawn from a two-hectare site with sandy limestone, located apart from the estate's core vineyard block, which the Ghezzi family holds in special regard. Indeed, the character of this wine is quite different from the classic 2016 Brunello. I don't get those heavier aromas of asphalt or charred earth here. This wine is much softer in approach with delicate and pure fruit. Cherry, plum and dried raspberry cede to light spice and tobacco. Paesaggio Inatteso means "unexpected landscape" in Italian, and this wine does stand apart from the others in the Camigliano portfolio." Robert Parker

"A rich, decadent red with black-cherry and flower aromas, as well as citrus and crushed stone. Some wet bark, too. It’s full-bodied, yet reserved and toned with nicely crafted tannins that melt into the wine. Vivid acidity. A poised, polished red." James Suckling

Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Gualto is a dark, saturated and compact wine that shows a very unique interpretation of the Sangiovese grape. Camigliano has one of the best microclimates for a dark, velvety and opulent Brunello that does very well in a highly balanced vintage like 2015. The plump fruit contrasts nicely with the firm tannins and acidity in the mouthfeel. All in all, this is a balanced wine with softness and extra richness. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright elegant ruby red. In the nose after ripe raspberries and wild strawberries, also shows nuances of pomegranate, in the reverberation bright spice. Opens smoothly on the palate with a fruity-sweet core, juicy, runs clear and round into the long final." Falstaff

"Offering ripeness and texture, the Camigliano 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Gualto is a fun and accessible wine. The bouquet is very expressive, even at this young stage. I got a charge out of those shifting aromas of dark fruit, ripe cherry, rosemary essence and a touch of eucalyptus oil that lift from the bouquet. Those balsam herb aromas are well defined, and they always appear with the prettiest intensity in the warmer vintages like 2015. Riserva Gualto shows good structure and enough acidity to keep those fruit flavors fresh and bright. Only 4,000 bottles were made." Robert Parker
