The Campogiovanni vineyards are located on the
southern side of Montalcino, an area where a
particular microclimate and the
composition of the soil create an ideal combination for a
perfect maturation of the Sangiovese Grosso.
Campogiovanni is a traditional-style Brunello,
which stands out for its finesse and longevity.
Multiple awards, five times in the TOP 100 of
Wine Spectator.
Vintage Characteristics
The winter of 2019 was characterized by rain and
snowfall that allowed the accumulation of water reserves; average spring
temperatures favored budding in early April and the high
summer temperatures in the months of June, July and August
brought the grapes to perfect maturation. In
general, the 2019 vintage produced wines of great
balance and excellent aging potential.
Tasting Notes and Pairings
Intense ruby ??red color. Aromas of ripe berries,
blackberry jam and notes of tobacco and leather. On the palate it is
broad, soft, persistent, closing with notes of fruit
in alcohol. Red meats in general, game, wild boar dishes,
aged pecorino cheeses.
