Azienda Agricola San Giuseppe Brunello di Montalcino Stella di Campalto Rosa 2016

An extraordinary, ethereal expression of Sangiovese from one of Montalcino’s most revered biodynamic icons, Stella di Campalto. Sourced from organic and biodynamic vines in the warmer, southern reaches of Montalcino, this rare bottling undergoes spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts and gentle, minimal skin contact before extended aging in neutral oak casks and bottle. The nose is spectacularly complex and lifted, wafting with scents of wild strawberries, blood orange zest, and tart red cherries, layered alongside delicate rose petals, dried herbs, crushed limestone, and a subtle savory earthiness.

On the palate, it strikes a breathtaking balance between weightless, silk-like elegance and striking structural tension. A vibrant core of crunchy red berry fruit and bright citrus zest is driven by a beam of electric natural acidity and a ultrafine, chalky phenolic grip that imparts a serious, mouthwatering texture.
