With the 2016 Brunello, Campogiovanni succeeds in making an extremely successful appearance: dense garnet red with a perfumed bouquet of black fruits, espresso, grilled meat and Asian-like spice aromas. Viscous and concentrated on the palate, and despite its power and expressiveness, it reveals a dedication to elegance and finesse even at a young age. Exceptionally good! SUPERIORE.DE

"Perfume of cherries and violets; harmonious construction, invigorating acidity, perfectly integrated tannins, persistent fruity finish." Vinum

"Smells intensely of candied black cherries and plums, leather, damp earth, undergrowth, violets and "spicy" spices. In the mouth it is compact, with sturdy but fine-grained tannins, gripping, powerful, but this goes well with the spicy-ethereal (liquorice) underlying fruit." Weinwisser

"Baked plum, dark-spice and forest-floor aromas mingle with whiffs of crushed mint. Fleshy and concentrated, the chewy palate doles out mouthfuls of raspberry jam, licorice and tobacco before an espresso finish. It's already surprisingly accessible, with rounded, fine-grained tannins." Wine Enthusiast

"The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino from San Felice displays rich black cherry and plum with complements of sweet spice, cedar shavings and cooling mintiness. The textures are silky, ushing in a polished mix of red/black berries laced with salty minerals. It's medium in body and youthfully compact; yet it is also showing a glimpse of what's to come, as inner florals build over notes of licorice and cloves. A web of fine tannins coat all that they touch in youthful poise, as this tapers off with violet inflections. This is a very nice expression of the 2016 vintage form southern Montalcino." Vinous

"This red is intense, featuring incisive aromas of macerated cherry and plum, leather, earth and juniper flavors. A tad rustic, burly tannins line the finish, yet stay fresh and anchored on the fruit component. Shows excellent length." Wine Spectator

"Black-cherry and black-mushroom with bark and mahogany aromas and flavors. It's full-bodied, yet tight and focused with a firm, chewy finish. Give it two or three years to soften." James Suckling
