Didn’t get to try these side by side, but within a few days of each other. The Camilla is typically a barrel-selection of wines intended for the La Severita di Bruto bottling. In certain vintages, richer, longer-fermenting barrels prone to Malo go to Camilla, while others go to the leaner LSB. The 2013 was the first Camilla since 2007, so a fun comparison. Both were fragrant Sauv Blancs, with just a hint of sweetness. Interesting that the difference in alcohol was not that perceptible, with the ‘07 in the 15’s and the ‘13 in the 13’s.

I believe the fresher, higher acidity barrels go into the LSB, with the longer fermenting, richer barrels going to the DC. Full bodied, full flavored Sauv Blanc.
