The 2005 Brunello di Montalcino has developed far beyond my initial expectations. Initially compact and folded in on itself, the wine literally blossoms into a jewel right before my eyes. Layers of floral red fruit spin effortlessly from this graceful, mid-weight Brunello, filling out quite nicely. This remains a slightly clenched wine, but one with tremendous promise. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025. This is a breathtaking set of wines from Stella di Campalto, one of Montalcino’s most promising young growers. Campalto farms her vineyards following biodynamic principles. The wines are made in a similarly non-interventionalist manner. A visit to this small cellar is a must for anyone who wants to understand the potential of Sangiovese in Montalcino, especially in regards to finesse and elegance.Importer: Polaner Selections, Mt.
