With the 2018 Brunello, Campogiovanni succeeds in making an extremely successful and classic appearance: dense garnet red with a well-perfumed bouquet of black fruits, espresso, grilled meat and Asian-like spicy aromas. Viscous and concentrated on the palate, and despite its power and expressiveness, it reveals a dedication to elegance and finesse even at a young age. Exceptionally good! SUPERIORE.DE

"Engaging aromas of raspberries and violets, also pepper; pithy on the palate, the tannins robust, the texture fresh, lovely berry-wood finish." Vinum

"Bright, radiant ruby red. In the nose lots of sweet wood, vanilla, roasted hazelnuts, delicate fumé, frisich, cherries and blood oranges. On the palate with sweetish fruit, dominated by the use of wood, wide-meshed tannin in the finish." Falstaff

"The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino is remarkably beautiful with a fruit-driven bouquet of wild strawberries, sweet rose and cinnamon spice. It has a soft texture and lively acidity that gives it a juicy character, while peppery red berries and sweet herbal tones resonate. The palate remains watery as a train of sloppy tannins and a note of sour cherry with citrus flavours slowly fade away. After a short stay in the cellar, this zesty wine will give much pleasure." Vinous

"Expressive nose of olives, sour cherries, plum seeds, tomato leaves, cardamom and spice box. It is full-bodied with firm, slightly chewy tannins. Structured and well-framed, with sophisticated spice notes on the finish. Try it in 2025." James Suckling

"The Campogiovanni 2018 Brunello di Montalcino definitely shows a lot of richness and concentration, translating into more fruit weight and texture. The effect is a little heavy and overdone in my opinion, and this vintage prioritises brawn over nuanced detail. There's a lot coming at once, with ripe plums, blackberries and spice." Wine Advocate

"The nose is metallic and stony, with a puff of petrol, like a road trip in winter, but also brighter notes of bergamot, black currant and black cherry. The palate embraces the bitter fruitiness of bergamot before savory notes return for a bitter finish. A balanced, polished and integrated wine." Wine Enthusiast

"Very reminiscent of Sangiovese, this red wine combines both fruity and spicy elements - cherry, strawberry, hibiscus, wet hay, iron and tobacco - with a firm structure. Expressive, balanced, lively and long, with stiff tannins on the finish." Wine Spectator
