In the second half of the 1990s, 6 hectares of Rosso di Montalcino DOC vineyards were planted on the Campogiovanni estate. This wine demonstrates the great versatility of Sangiovese,
capable of expressing itself at excellent levels even in a less structured and complex version of Brunello.
It stands out for its harmony, elegant aromas, and pleasantness.
Vintage Characteristics
The 2024 vintage was characterized by a mild, lightly
rainy winter, followed by a spring with regular rainfall that
favored good flowering. The very hot summer,
especially in August, slowed ripening, leading to
a harvest that began around the second half of September.
The autumn rains required careful selection of the
grapes, supported by targeted interventions in the vineyard. Production was
positive in both qualitative and quantitative terms. The wines
feature elegant aromatic profiles, well-integrated tannins,
low alcohol content, and an ideal acid balance for
aging, with a lighter yet fresh and already
pleasant structure.
Tasting Notes and Pairings
