Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Riserva – Gualto 2018 – Camigliano

Camigliano “Gualto” is a distinguished Brunello di Montalcino DOCG made exclusively from 100% Sangiovese.

The wine matures for 36 months in French oak barrels, allowing for a deep and complex evolution.

In the glass, it presents a clear, medium garnet color with slight brick hues at the rim, signaling a degree of maturation.

The nose is clean with pronounced intensity, offering an inviting bouquet of ripe red cherries, dried plum, fig, and sweet spices such as cinnamon and clove.

These primary aromas are beautifully intertwined with tertiary notes of leather, tobacco, forest floor, and a subtle balsamic nuance, typical of a well-aged Brunello.

On the palate, the wine is dry, with high acidity and high tannins that are firm yet well-integrated. It boasts a full body and elevated alcohol, delivering intense flavors that mirror the nose—dried red fruit, savory spices, earthy undertones—with a lingering finish that reveals an elegant complexity of leather, mushroom, and cedar.

Camigliano “Gualto” shows excellent balance, a complex and evolving aromatic profile, and a very long finish. Its structure and concentration suggest that it will continue to develop positively with further cellaring.
