Medium textured, largely  silt-sand with some clay, on sandstone and calcareous marl.

Campogiovanni’s vineyards are situated on the south quadrant of the Montalcino hill, where weather conditions and a particular combination of soils favor optimal ripening of the Sangiovese Grosso grape. Campogiovanni Brunello is absolutely classic in style, averaging three years in Slavonian oak casks and 500-liter tonneaux, then another twelve months in the bottle. It is recognized for its finesse and longevity. Five times award-winning wine in the TOP 100 Wine Spectator.

OUR FERTILE HILLSIDE

Hectares of Brunello vineyards

Hectares of vineyards 

Production takes place in the San Felice estate cellars. Vinification is in temperature-controlled tanks, where the crushed fruit, complete with the skins, seeds, and stem (called grape must), is pumped over and punched down, this maximises the extraction of desirable components from the skins. Fining is in barrels and tonneaux, this is an exceptionally complex process, and ensures a perfect balance between Sangiovese and the soil-related characteristics. In accordance with DOCG regulations our Brunello di Montalcino is aged for at least two years in oak barrels. The maturing process is completed by a period of fining in the bottle.

2018 has began with an early sprouting due to high temperatures in March and April, followed by a fairly rainy May. Temperatures have started to rise again since June; summer temperatures in the norm with scattered rains. The month of September in particular saw a succession of sunny days but with a great thermal excursion between day and night, which allowed the grapes a proper phenolic and aromatic maturation.

Antonio Galloni, Vinous

Winter was quite mild and dry. At the end of March the vines sprouted at least 20 days in advance. In April, two cold nights slowed down the development without fortunately causing damage to the shoots. The summer drought has reduced the yields considerably while the quality was good thanks to some cultivation techniques aimed at keeping the grapes shaded.

Gardini Notes "The Wine Killer"

Mundus Vini, Germany

Winter was quite mild and rainy; elevated temperatures at the beginning of April have caused an early flowering of at least 10 days; after a regular May, the summer months were very hot, with temperatures high above seasonal average, with periodic rains that helped to maintain a good vegetative balance avoiding water distress. The ripening of the grapes was very good as well as the average quality of the wines produced.

Falstaff Austria

2015 will be remembered as one of the warmest in recent years, with a mild winter and a spring with regular rainfall followed by a hot summer with rare precipitation. Good weather conditions allowed a good quantity and excellent quality production, with perfect phenolic maturation in all vineyards, guaranteeing wines suitable for long ageing.

Mild and rainy winter with temperatures higher than the average. The whole process of maturation was anticipated by the intense and persistent rainfalls in June and July followed by a sunny September with mild temperatures. Elegant and fine structure with low alcoholic content.
