95 and 93 point Brunello di Montalcinos – Decanter review of 2012 vintage
Fortunate to have been born in the great city of Liverpool and to fall into the world of wine. More than 20 years later I'm Boutinot's marketing manager for much of Europe (mostly Italy and Spain) and more than content with my compact family, including 3 cats (sadly just the 11 legs) and a 1969 'Dark Star' (no, not a wine!)
November 2017 issue of Decanter magazine carried a review of Brunello di Montalcino wines from the 2012 vintage, including two from our portfolio:
Campogiovanni Brunello di Montalcino 2012: OUTSTANDING / 95 points
“Complex, cigar-box aromas accompanied by notes of morello cherries, wet stones and Mediterranean herbs.” Bruno Besa
“Warm and edgy, charred spice and menthol nose, followed by a full, ripe, juicy palate and concentrated black pepper and raspberry fruit.” Michael Garner
“An immediately appealing, enticing nose of cherry fruit and sweet spice character.” Susan Hulme MW
Uggiano Brunello di Montalcino 2012: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED / 93 points
“Delicate yet stylish, with aromas of plum, liquorice and dark chocolate leading to a rounded and fleshy palate brimming with spicy bramble fruit.”
