2018 Campo Alle Noci Brunello di Montalcino Tuscany, Italy

The Moment

This is the bottle for when dinner deserves a little ceremony.
A Brunello that feels polished, confident, and quietly powerful — the kind of wine that turns a meal into an occasion without needing to say a word.

Perfect for slow evenings, long conversations, and plates that demand a serious red.

What It Feels Like

The nose is layered and expressive from the first swirl. Crushed strawberry, raspberry, and spiced cherry lead, followed by violet, lavender, and warm notes of hazelnut, praline, and sandalwood.

On the palate, it’s full-bodied and beautifully structured. Ripe wild berry fruit sits at the core, supported by fine mineral tension and hints of dried citrus and stone. Firm yet polished tannins provide shape, while vibrant acidity keeps everything lifted and energetic.

The finish is long, perfumed, and persistent — red fruit, florals, and subtle spice fading slowly with classic Brunello elegance.

Why We Love This Bottle

Because this is Brunello doing what Brunello does best: structure, elegance, and longevity.

It drinks beautifully now with a little air, but it’s also built to evolve over the next decade. A true “special dinner” wine that still feels welcoming rather than intimidating.
