Camigliano, Gualto Brunello di Montalcino, DOCG, Riserva, 2015 (OWC 6)

Description

For more than five decades the Camigliano winery has been producing excellent quality wines under the leadership of the Ghezzi family. This is no surprise, as the Milanese founder Walter Ghezzi has always had a passion for agriculture. In the meantime, his son Gualtiero and his wife Laura have helped the winery, located in the south-west of the hamlet of Camigliano near Montalcino, to flourish again with great personal commitment and considerable investment. Both also revived the historical settlement and thus ensured its continued existence.

Tasting Notes

Gualto is a wine that has considerable ageing potential by virtue of the outstanding quality of its raw material, which was carefully selected in the vineyard. Even after ten years, the wine’s original elegance will still be present.

"Offering ripeness and texture, the Camigliano 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Gualto is a fun and accessible wine. The bouquet is very expressive, even at this young stage. I got a charge out of those shifting aromas of dark fruit, ripe cherry, rosemary essence and a touch of eucalyptus oil that lift from the bouquet. Those balsam herb aromas are well defined, and they always appear with the prettiest intensity in the warmer vintages like 2015. Riserva Gualto shows good structure and enough acidity to keep those fruit flavors fresh and bright. Only 4,000 bottles were made."
