The 2012 Rosso di Montalcino opens to luscious ripe fruit and big oak notes with campfire ash and exotic spice. The wine is dark and immediately drinkable with soft, chewy cherry flavors on the finish. It's a velvety and plump wine, albeit somewhat one dimensional. Drink: 2014-2017. Camigliano is among the most historic and largest properties in Montalcino (totaling 530 hectares, of which 90 are planted to vine). The estate faithfully reflects the geologic and climatic characteristics often attributed to this unique parcel of the appellation. Indeed, many have suggested that the hamlet of Camigliano and half-dozen or so estates located here become their own subzone. I agree that among the many sketches for proposed subzones already on the table, Camigliano shows highly distinctive traits that set it apart. Altitudes are lower and average temperatures are a few degrees higher resulting in faster ripening times, softer tannins and lower acidity. Camigliano's 2009 Brunello seems to have taken some of the brunt of the summer heat, but the estate's other red wines showed nicely. Only the Moscadello di Montalcino is not imported.
