| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\n\r\nRuby red color. On the nose it is very spicy with chiles and peppers before turning to berries and strawberries. Full body, velvety tannins and flavors, as well as lightly salty undertones characterizes the palate.\r\nIdeal with many complex dishes such as red meat, mushrooms or truffles. Excellent with aged cheeses or alone as a meditation wine.\r\nWine Spectator 93\r\nJames Suckling 92\r\nRobert Parker 92\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAbout Camigliano\r\nCamigliano in the past was certainly inhabited by the Etruscans who followed the course of the Ombrone River from the coastal Maremma area. It then became quite an important hamlet in the late medieval period, an outpost for Montalcino, joining in the fight to defend republican freedom in the middle of the 16th century.\r\nThe current manor house was built inside the entry gate (called \u201cBorgone\u201d) of the old \u201ccastle\u201d making the most of the ancient walls that surrounded the homestead. The symbol of Camigliano: the camel, found on a seal dating to the 13th century, can perhaps be connected to the influence of the papacy in the area, and there is speculation of connection to the movements of the Crusades that reached the Holy Land.\r\nThe winery, which was purchased by Walter Ghezzi in 1957, a courageous and enterprising businessman from Milan with a passion for Tuscany, has undergone an intense and radical improvement in recent years with arrival of son Gualtiero: the new vineyards have been brought to their full potential (today 530ha of which 93 are cultivated with vines) at an altitude of 300-350masl, the new underground cellar was built, and the vinification practices and unconditional care for the territory, in which he has invested energy and enthusiasm, have been renewed.\r\nThe vineyards, organic, have been chosen through a careful analysis of the terrain and clonal selection by agronomic experts coming from different Italian universities. |
