Tuscany At a Glance
Region NameTuscany
Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Super Tuscans from Bolgheri are some of the world’s most famous wines and are adored by collectors, and they all hail from the gorgeous region of Tuscany.
Score: 89Vintage 2016Vinous MediaThe 2016 Camigliano Brunello di Montalcino leads off with a slightly herbal and stemmy character, which over time blends with notes of woodland berries and moist soil tones. It’s soft and fleshy with intensely sweet medicinal cherry and spice contrasted by zippy acids and a hint of sour citrus. This finishes gently tannic and leaning more toward the dark fruit spectrum, where blackberry mixes with notes of tobacco. There is a rusticity here that’s not for everyone. In the end, it’s a Brunello to enjoy sooner rather than later.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 94Vintage 2015Wine AdvocateThe Camigliano 2015 Brunello di Montalcino sees fruit from a 50-hectare vineyard planted 300 to 350 meters above sea level. The soils show lots of variation with clay, sand, rock and marine fossils. The wine's bouquet reveals classic Brunello characteristics of wild berry, forest floor, pressed rose petal, crushed stone and spice. You also get those typical balsam and herbal tones that are so specific to Montalcino. In fact, I argue that they come across with even more intensity in a beautifully balanced and sunny vintage such as 2015. This wine ages in 60-hectoliter botti for 24 months, making for a firm yet surprisingly streamlined mouthfeel.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 94Vintage 2015James SucklingA bright and elegant Brunello that suggests sliced oranges, tulips and rose petals. Medium-to full-bodied and finely structured, drawing on silky layers of tannins and a vibrant edge of acidity. Drink now or hold.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review

Score: 91Vintage 2015Vinous MediaModerately saturated medium red. Strawberry, honey and flint on the nose and palate. Then fairly steely in the mouth, but boasting nice concentration and an appealing sweetness. Finishes broad and smooth, but I would have liked a little more length for an even higher score.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 88Vintage 2015Wine EnthusiastAfter a few swirls of the glass, the nose suggests wild berry, cured tobacco leaf and a whiff of violet. The straightforward palate shows juicy sour cherry, cranberry and clove set against fine-grained tannins. Drink after 2022.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 91Vintage 2014James SucklingVery beautiful and perfumed with floral and fresh cherry character. Medium-bodied, silky and creamy with a lovely finish. Drink now.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 90Vintage 2014Wine SpectatorOverall, this red is balanced, with cherry, plum, iron and earth notes forming a ripe, sweet center to offset the solid, dusty tannins. Finishes with freshness and a lingering element of fruit. Best from 2022 through 2040. 375 cases imported. –BSShelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 89Vintage 2014Wine AdvocateThe Camigliano 2014 Brunello di Montalcino pours from the bottle with a lean ruby appearance. The wine offers mild aromas of forest fruit, wild cherry, bitter almond and grilled herb. Like other wines from this challenging vintage, this expression does not show the intensity or the depth that you get in the more balanced vintages. You do get attractive freshness for easy, near and medium-term drinking. There is a stern point of tannic bitterness on the close that may never fully integrate.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 88Vintage 2014Wine EnthusiastUnderbrush, leather, violet and wild-berry aromas slowly take shape on this. The tight, taut palate is on the lean side, offering cranberry, licorice and espresso alongside assertive close-grained tannins that grip the finish. Give the tannins a few years to unclench then drink sooner rather than later. KERIN O’KEEFEShelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 87Vintage 2014Vinous MediaDeep ruby; this strikes me as being darker than most 2014 Brunellos I tried this year. Aromas of graphite and flint also give a dark quality to the black cherry and cassis aromas and flavors. Finishes long and clean, with decent grain to the tannins, but this does not strike me as an especially successful or even typical wine from Montalcino. Camigliano’s classic Brunello has been much better than this in recent years.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 92Vintage 2013Wine and SpiritsNotes of fresh mushroom and smoky eggplant mingle with this wine’s dark cherry and plum fruit, balancing the mouthwatering acidity and orange-peel high notes. The flavors hold together nicely, developing notes of fried sage on the brisk finish.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 92Vintage 2004James SucklingLots of mushrooms, dark berries, plums and fresh leather. Full-bodied with chewy and dusty tannins. Powerful richness. Drink or hold.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
