94pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The Camigliano 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Gualto shows increased precision and sharper lines compared to the 2017 wines reviewed here. This wine also reveals a more vibrant and intact fruit character with immediate aromas of cherry, wild plum and rose. In all, this production of 3,800 bottles shows a careful, delicate approach that is in line with this classic, slightly cooler vintage. This wine probably offers you the best value among this set of new releases.

94pts Wine Spectator

Displaying succulent cherry, raspberry, leather and spice flavors, this red is sleek and well-structured. Features fine balance and a finish that echoes the fruit while picking up a mineral component. Fresh and long. Best from 2025 through 2040.

93pts James Suckling

A rather soft and juicy Brunello with cherry, chocolate, walnut and bark character. It’s savory and fresh with lots going on. Very structured and polished. Goes on for minutes.

Winemaker Notes

A wine of great personality and structure, with a broad nose characterized by hints of ripe fruit, Mediterranean scrub and spices.
