Description
What kind of wine it is
The Rosso di Montalcino produced by Campogiovanni is a still red wine from Tuscany that highlights the purity of the Sangiovese grape variety. Within the Rosso di Montalcino denomination, this wine reveals a medium-bodied profile, well-structured yet at the same time smooth and fruity. On the palate, it stands out for its freshness and elegance, finishing with a pleasantly long aftertaste. The ruby red colour introduces a bouquet rich in cherry, blackberry and hints of cedarwood, making it perfect to pair with flavourful first courses, game and mature cheeses.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from the Campogiovanni estate, located on the southern slope of the Montalcino area. The vineyards grow between 250 and 300 metres above sea level, benefiting from optimal exposure to the south and south-west. The medium-textured soils are characterised by a predominant clay component over a substrate of sandstone and limestone marl. This particular microclimate and soil composition give the wine a clear fruit character and a structured texture, while maintaining a smooth and harmonious sip.
How it is produced
Vinification begins with a twelve-day maceration on the skins at a controlled temperature, a fundamental process for extracting colour and structure. After malolactic fermentation in steel tanks, the wine matures for twelve months in Slavonian oak barrels. A further two-month ageing period allows the sensory profile to stabilise, ensuring a faithful and elegant interpretation of Rosso di Montalcino and its territory of origin.
History and Curiosities
Produced by the historic San Felice winery, active since 1968, this fine expression of Rosso di Montalcino Campogiovanni DOC originates from the sunny Sienese slopes. Under the guidance of oenologist Leonardo Bellaccini, the estate cultivates excellent pure Sangiovese grapes at altitudes between 250 and 300 metres, embracing a philosophy of complete sustainability. The 2023 vintage, produced in a limited run of 28,000 bottles, boasts the prestigious score of 91/100 from Vinous, testament to a perfect balance between territorial identity and refined elegance.
