Stella di Campalto Podere San Giuseppe 'Bacia - Amore', Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, Italy 2019 3L

A rare and highly sought-after single-vineyard Brunello from Stella di Campalto, Bacia–Amore is crafted biodynamically from old-vine Sangiovese grown on the limestone-rich slopes of Podere San Giuseppe. The 2019 offers layered aromas of wild cherry, rose petal, dried herbs, and earthy spice, with a deep, structured palate framed by fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity. Elegant yet powerful, with remarkable purity and aging potential, this is one of Montalcino’s most terroir-driven and collectible Brunellos, prized for its transparency, finesse, and longevity.

"The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Bacia is deep and complex, mixing black cherries with cedar box, autumnal spice, mentholated herbs and a dusting of cocoa. This speaks in bass tones, with dark, saturating red fruit and minerals excited by a core of brisk acidity and a balsamic tinge that defines the close. It finishes with tremendous length, staining and intense, leaving a primary concentration of cranberry and blackberry to mingle with sweet tannins. The 2019 Bacia is a bombshell beauty." Vinous 97-99
