Camigliano 'Poderuccio' Super Tuscan Red Blend, 2018, Tuscany, Italy

Winemaker Notes Wine with intense fruity notes, soft, intense, and pleasant on the palate. Not a simple IGT, but a refined wine that originates from clayey terrain that is rich in limestone, which, in this part of Tuscany, gives the wine their best characteristics and creates a wine with fruity aromas that leave the palate with a pleasant sensation of softness. Pair it with meat, fish, cold cuts, cheese, and many variations of vegetable dishes. Blend: 65% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Sangiovese Critical Acclaim JS90 James Suckling Lots 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. Pair with hard cheeses, roast meats, pasta dishes.  Camigliano is one of the most historic estates in Montalcino. Acquired in 1957 by entrepreneur Walter Ghezzi, Camigliano was converted over time to the production of high quality wines, in particular of Brunello di Montalcino. The 1,300 acre estate is planted with over 220 acres of vineyards, 200 of which are Sangiovese vineyards. His son Gualtiero put a lot of effort into the modernizing the company. Through the construction of a new subterranean cellar and the demolition of the previous building, Camigliano restored streets and panoramic views, and regained an astonishing landscape of the high Maremma for the medieval town of 32 residents.
