Wine of great personality and structure, with a broad nose characterized by hints of ripe fruit, Mediterranean scrub and spices. Come from a blend of the two best vineyards of the company. There agronomic operations are carried out to obtain the perfect ripening of the grapes every year. A wine that has a remarkable aging capacity; even after many years of storage it will present its original elegance combined with an aromatic evolution typical of high-class wines.
No particular pairings are necessary even if the complexity of the bouquet and the importance of the structure make it perfect for important occasions.
94 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.
94 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.
93 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. Give it two to three years to come together. Try after 2023.
92 Vinous The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Gualto wafts up with an intense display of medicinal cherries, wild herbs and smoky crushed stone. This is pure and cool-toned, yet it offers the silkiest of textures and luxuriously ripe red fruits that balance the expression well. The Riserva Gualto tapers off lightly structured with balsam herbs and a subtle tug of grippy tannins. Don’t come here expecting a big strapping Riserva; the 2016 is all about charm.
