2006 Stella di Campalto Brunello di Montalcino
Bid on this bottle of 2006 Stella di Campalto Brunello di Montalcino (96RP). Wine Advocate: "The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino is a wine that will make readers fall in love with Sangiovese. Mediterranean herbs, underbrush, tobacco, plums and dark cherries are just some of the nuances that emerge from this graceful Brunello. Deceptively medium in body at first, the wine puts on weight in the glass while remaining delicate and impeccably balanced. The inner perfume builds nicely towards the compelling finish, where the closing blast of fruit punctuates the energetic close. This is a mesmerizing wine that combines finesse and power. (AG) 96+ " (05/2011)

Podere San Giuseppe, better known as Stella di Campalto, is one of Montalcino’s most revered artisanal estates, farming organically and biodynamically on the southeastern slopes of the appellation. The vineyards are planted at relatively high elevation on galestro, clay, and limestone soils, where cooling breezes and significant diurnal shifts help preserve freshness and aromatic complexity in Sangiovese. Stella di Campalto’s deeply hands-on, low-intervention approach emphasizes elegance, perfume, and transparency to terroir, producing Brunello that is noted as much for finesse and energy as for depth and longevity.
