Score: 90Vintage 2022James SucklingThis is a savory and juicy red with notes of plums, orange peel and wet earth on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with fine, powdery tannins. Youthful and very approachable. Drink now or in the next couple of years.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 89Vintage 2021James SucklingCurrants, tobacco, violets and iodine on the nose. Salty and savory with a medium body, sleek tannins and gently rustic finish. Drink now.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 88Vintage 2021Wine AdvocateA blend of organic grapes, 65% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Sangiovese, the Camigliano 2021 Poderuccio shows medium-dark concentration with ripe aromas of baked plum and raisin. You feel the warm Tuscan sunshine in this entry-level wine. There is black olive, rosemary and sweet spice or crushed clove. It ages in French oak for a brief six months. You get a lot of power and some lingering astringency in this otherwise unassuming wine. Production is 6,660 bottles.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 90Vintage 2020James SucklingBlackberries, cassis, grilled herbs and tobacco on the nose. Medium-bodied with sturdy tannins and fresh acidity. Firm and spicy at the end. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 89Vintage 2020Wine AdvocateThe Camigliano 2020 Poderuccio is 65% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Sangiovese. This wine is so much fun with its loud personality and a punchy set of aromas that includes cherry, balsam herb, blue flower and plummy or baked fruit. There is a lot of primary intensity here, and although Poderuccio is not created for complexity or long-aging, you'll enjoy its easy-drinking style and all those cheerful bitter-cherry flavors. That low price tag is another reason to buy this wine. Production is 6,660 bottles.
Camigliano has completed its conversion over to organic farming, and the wines from the 2017 vintage should already fall under organic protocols (although I didn't yet notice a seal of certification on the sample bottles I received).Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 91Vintage 2019James SucklingAromas of plums, blackberries, leather, mushrooms and spices. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and fresh acidity. Fruit-forward and juicy in the mouth with a fresh, silky texture. Flavorful finish. A little austere at the end, but in a good way. Drink now or hold.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review

Score: 90Vintage 2018James SucklingLots of blackberries and tar, together with black-olive character on the nose and palate. Full-bodied and structured. A little raw, but should come around nicely with bottle age. Drink from 2020.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 86Vintage 2018Wine SpectatorAn earthy aroma gives way to cherry, bell pepper and mint flavors in this light-bodied red, which tails off quickly on the finish. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese. Drink now. 2,500 cases made, 500 cases imported.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review

Score: 87Vintage 2016Wine and SpiritsA blend of merlot with 35 percent cabernet sauvignon and five percent sangiovese, this is earthy and savory, with flavors of fennel and dried leaves woven through the dark fruit flavors.
