Castello di Camigliano Rosso di Montalcino 2023

In Camigliano, the organic management of the vineyards since 2014 has taught the Ghezzi family to be very present in the vineyard and timely in the management of phytopathologies; the great agronomic commitment in spring 2023 allowed the estate to obtain a healthy Sangiovese, without having repercussions from a quantitative point of view. 

In the cellar the macerations were shorter than in previous years, but the analytical parameters and the first tastings comforted the estate in obtaining long-lived and extremely typical wines. The aromas are very intact and in the mouth the wines present themselves with great fragrance and personality. It is important to underline that it was important, and not at all obvious, in this 2023, to have healthy grapes with the right level of maturity; the Ghezzi's believe that this vintage can lead to wines that are not "rich" and full of structure, but vertical and refined, with the right amount of enjoyment already in the first years...
