San Giorgio Rosso di Montalcino Ciampoleto 2021
DOZEN: $648.00 or $54.00 each
This is toasty and spiced with dark berries, chocolate and cloves. Medium-bodied, juicy and fine-grained with a polished, slightly chewy finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink now. JAMES SUCKLING
Cedar shavings, ground cloves and dried black cherries form a darkly alluring bouquet as the 2021 Rosso di Montalcino Ciampoleto opens in the glass. It's silky smooth with depths of tart red berry fruits offset by orange hints and a mineral tinge that adds further complexity. The 2021 finishes long and staining with a cranberry crunchiness as traces of licorice fade. This racy rendition of Ciampoleto is gorgeous today but with the balance to age gracefully over the next five to ten years. ERIC GUIDO, Vinous
San Giorgio was founded in 1982, located in Castelnuovo dell’Abate in the south-eastern part of Montalcino in a unique position, at 400 metres on top of a ridge. The soil is poor and rocky, mainly composed of clay and tufa with some mixed sandstone and marlstone at different altitudes. In 2016, neighbouring winery Poggio di Sotto, part of the Colle Massari group, purchased the estate. It's quality all the way here and with the recent purchase things continue their upward swing
