Vigna San Giuseppe Riserva Bricco Boschis Barolo Nebbiolo 2010
Quite deep garnet , just a hint of ruby and a wide garnet , terracotta rim. Touches of chestnut , dark fruits , earthy liquorice , dry spice and black tea . On the palate this is very classically styled , with dark liquorice tinged blackberry, raspberry , spiced black tea and menthol tinged good long length finish . Balanced acaidity and quite high , grippy tannins. With time this is beginning to show quite well , but will not doubt improve over the next 5 perhaps 10 years and last well a further 10 . Really quite classic and imposing in style , but detailed and complex. — 9 months ago

Riserva Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2012
Along with the majestic 2010 one of my favorite Stella vintages. So giving right off the bat, never any heat, just so fresh and clean. Amazing expression of Sangiovese. — 3 years ago

Bacia Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2019
Deeper, darker, a bit more tannic than the other Stella's I've had. Still enjoyable, but her non designated Brunellos and the Riserva offer better balance and more plush red fruit. — 13 minutes ago

Rosso di Montalcino Sangiovese 2015
I had a couple of these bottles pre-Covid - fall 2019? It was my introduction to Stella di Campalto. They were fantastic young and you could see where they were headed. I bought six of the 750s and a couple of 1.5L. This is the first one I’ve opened. This Rosso would hold its own against almost any Brunello from the 2015 vintage, which makes sense, since they just take a barrel of the Brunello and declassify it and release it as a Rosso one year early. Delicious cherry, light on its feet, and very pretty florals on the nose. Give it time it open or a quick decant, which I did not this time. Great with steak, but also contemplative on its own. — 10 days ago

Bosco Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2018
My favorite Brunello and it’s not close. The utmost Burgundian expression of Sangiovese and 2018 Bosco is gorgeous tonight, finessed and seductive, fully open and giving wafting a captivating floral, spice and wild red berry perfume, and a palate that captures a seamless balance of richness and tension with no warmth, just definition. Love these wines. — a year ago

Brunello di Montalcino Cielo Sangiovese 2018
A failed blind, but it was WOTN for me and most on the table! Roses and tar notes along with substantial acid and grip (although elegant) found me firmly in Piedmont. Should have known - it’s not the first time I’ve mistaken a Sangiovese for a Nebbiolo (and notably more so than the other way around). Blind aside, the wine itself definitely had everyone on the table buzzing with excitement when first poured. So aromatic and complex, with notes of dark red cherries, roses, tar, smoky incense, and liquorice. Robust tannins on the palate, yet there’s a real airiness to the wine. Beautiful energy with the underlying mineral streak. Just pure drinking pleasure!
NB: From what I understand, the “Cielo” now replaces the Rosso, which will no longer be made at the winery. The “Cielo” is a blend of different plots. — 2 years ago
In Italy we say that 10yo nebbiolo and pinots( i mean Burgundy of course) tend to become much alike, but then we all end up messing up with great sangiovese in the mix, mostly Chianti from Castelnuovo Berardenga or Radda and Brunello, obviously when they are all aged too. Take the label off a Castell'in Villa Chianti Riserva with some age or a Le Pergole Torte and you will surely think of Burgundy same as some Barolo or Barbaresco. The only markers i find very uniques in Nebbiolo can be the rose petals and the talc powder that are more pronounced than in any Burgundy.
Another example of the confusion that can be there is the licorice from a great aged Brunello(Soldera), a top aged Serralunga Barolo and a Chambertin(just). I love to be in the position to be wrong or right on this which means i am sipping them😅😅.
However Stella is that bracket of wines, at the pinnacle IMO.

From back when their fruit from the Le Coste MGA was blended with Brunate. These days, the Le Coste fruit goes in to “Tre Tine” along with Ravera and Cannubi San Lorenzo.
Opened about two hours prior to service and enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 2001 Brunate-Le Coste pours a garnet color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of Bing cherry, tar, roses, some varnish, cedar chest, some cool spices and gravelly earth. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and quite round. This bottle shows the generosity of the vintage and yet, it seems to want even more time in the cellar. One can certainly drink now through 2061. — 7 days ago
