Campogiovanni Brunello di Montalcino

San Felice's distinguished Campogiovanni estate consistently produces some of the richest, most forward and impressive wines of the zone.

Production

Campogiovanni's 12 hectare vineyards are on the south quadrant of the Montalcino hill, where weather conditions and a particular combination of soils allow optimal ripening of the grapes. Harvesting is in late September. The grapes then undergo a 20-day maceration at 28-30 degrees C, and malolactic fermentation in steel. Maturation is for 36 months in large Slavonian oak botti, followed by a further 12 months in bottle. 

Tasting Note

Expansive aromas of wild berry, plum, aromatic cedar, tobacco leaf and leather. A generous, complex palate with meaty, savoury characters and fine-grained tannins, developing into a long, persistent satisfyingly rich finish.

Food Match

Pairs well with rich meats such as game and boar.
