94 Points Wine Spectator
A delicate, juicy red, delivering cherry, raspberry, floral and iron aromas and flavors. Aromatic, with vibrant acidity driving the fruit as this builds to the long aftertaste, where fine-grained tannins leave a powdery feel.
93 Points Vinous
The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino opens with a bouquet of crushed strawberries and cherries, complicated by cedary spices and nuances of blood orange. It shows the weight and pliancy of its southern roots, with depths of mineral-inflected red berry fruits and mulling spices. The wine tapers off with medium length, gentle structure and a subtle cranberry tinge that pinches at the cheeks.
93 Points Jeb Dunnuck
The 2021 Brunello Di Montalcino has a reflective, bright red/orange hue and benefits from some air at this early stage, revealing notes of cranberries, cherries, tangerine, fresh wildflowers, and brushy herbs. Medium-bodied, it has elegance and energy, with refined tannins, bright acidity, and a gently tapering finish.
93 Points James Suckling
This has a savory character of cured meat, iron and wet stones, with spices and red berries in the background. The medium- to full-bodied palate is sleek and smoothly integrated, with well-defined yet supple tannins and a fleshy core of red fruit. Bright and juicy. From organically grown grapes.
91 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Camigliano 2021 Brunello di Montalcino is a certified organic wine that opens with ripe blackberry and blackcurrant followed by an oak-driven tarry and smoky note that adds weight to the bouquet. The aromatic profile is robust and persistent with a clear emphasis on dark fruit grown on the estate’s warmer southwestern exposures, and the palate closes with a hint of sweetness, soft tannins and a fundamentally velvety mouthfeel, making this an immediately approachable Brunello.
Winemaker Notes
Ruby red wine, with shades tending towards garnet. It has an intense aroma, with references to small ripe red fruits, combined with spicy notes. On the palate the hints of fruit integrate with the floral notes, and recall sensations of freshness and acidity, supported by a balanced structure; the tannins are smooth and integrated, with excellent persistence.
