Brunello di Montalcino San Biagio Camigliano 2018

Brunello di Montalcino San Biagio 2018 from Camigliano is a classic Tuscan red made exclusively from Sangiovese Grosso. Combining ripe fruit, refreshing acidity and firm, youthful tannins, it offers the structure and character expected of Brunello while remaining approachable with food. The wine reflects Montalcino’s long-standing tradition of producing some of Italy’s most distinguished age-worthy reds.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in colour, the wine opens with an intense bouquet of ripe blackberries and cherries, complemented by notes of woodland, tobacco, spice and subtle earthy nuances. On the palate, cool red and dark fruit are lifted by vibrant acidity, while flavours of sour cherry, dried flowers, cinnamon, liquorice and coffee add complexity. The texture is concentrated yet balanced, with youthful, slightly angular tannins and a long finish carrying a pleasing savoury bitterness. This is a structured Brunello with considerable development potential. It can be enjoyed now after decanting, while further bottle ageing over the next several years should soften the tannins and reveal additional tertiary notes.

Production
Produced from 100% Sangiovese Grosso in the hills of Montalcino, the wine is shaped by the region’s classic combination of a warm Mediterranean climate, elevation and varied soils. Following harvest, it matures for 24 months in large French and Slavonian oak casks of 600 and 1,200 litres, allowing the wine to develop without overwhelming its expressive fruit. It then spends a further two years ageing in bottle before release, in keeping with Brunello di Montalcino requirements.

Food & Serving
Its acidity and tannic structure make it an excellent partner for rich, savoury dishes such as slow-cooked stews, braised meats, game, veal and beef. It also works beautifully with deeply flavoured risotto, truffle dishes and pasta with meat-based sauces. Serve slightly below room temperature, around 18°C, and decant for approximately one hour before serving to open the bouquet and soften the tannins.
