"Basking in golden sunshine, Camigliano is a beautiful estate with an ambitious winemaking program that includes a large winery and 92 hectares of vines over varying soils and microclimates. The Ghezzi family is currently preparing the ground for a new vineyard with special exposures to be planted with selected clones of Sangiovese for future production of Brunello di Montalcino." ~Wine Advocate

Camigliano produces award-winning, organic Sangiovese. But, its history is a compelling story that mirrors the feuding states of medieval Toscana and was the site of a famous battle between the Sienese and Pisans. From the Etruscan era to WWII, the land underneath these vines is truly historic and has been meticulously maintained for growth.

The symbol of Camigliano: the camel, found on a seal dating to the 13th century, can be connected to the influence of the papacy in the area, and there is speculation of connection to the movements of the Crusades that reached the Holy Land due to the castle's location on the pilgrimage routes to Rome. The property is actually a tiny hamlet 15 minutes southwest of Montalcino. The scenery is stunning and the nearest neighbor is Argiano winery (winner of #1 wine in the world by Wine Spectator in 2023).

The modern history dates from 1957 when Walter Ghezzi, a successful Milanese businessman, purchased and renovated the property. Walter's son continues the legacy of maintaining its medieval past whilst advancing the practices of this historic estate.

Aging: 24 months in oak barrels followed by 12 months in the bottle.

Tasting Notes: 100% Sangiovese. This wine is a true expression of its terroir, offering intense aromas and beautifully balanced tannins. Carefully crafted from the finest clones and sourced from the sunniest, most ideal vineyards, it's a classy bottle that will only get better with time. Organically farmed. Serve it at 64.4°F to experience its full charm. Perfect with game, beef, or aged cheeses, but honestly, it’s equally stunning on its own as a contemplative, sip-and-savor wine. It’s the kind of wine that leaves an impression long after the last drop.
