Stella di Campalto’s NV Choltempo Fiorello explodes from the glass with a sweet, exotic and truly seductive mix of spicy black cherry, complemented by notes of cinnamon, clove and sweet mint leaf. Soft, lifted, unexpectedly feminine textures usher in wonderfully pure red fruits, with vibrant acids and sweet minerality creating a juicy, mouthwatering expression. The finish is medium in length, understated but also very pretty and floral, with just a hint of sweet herbal tea.

• Wine Spectator: Stella di Campalto’s NV Choltempo Fiorello explodes from the glass with a sweet, exotic and truly seductive mix of spicy black cherry, complemented by notes of cinnamon, clove and sweet mint leaf. Soft, lifted, unexpectedly feminine textures usher in wonderfully pure red fruits, with vibrant acids and sweet minerality creating a juicy, mouthwatering expression. The finish is medium in length, understated but also very pretty and floral, with just a hint of sweet herbal tea. This kitchen-sink blend of Sangiovese (from the 2016 vintage), Tannat, Arinarnoha, Marcelan and Lagrein (various vintages) comes from a small vineyard that is more like a garden to Stella di Campalto and worth seeking out as a unique expression from this passionate producer.

Producer Information

Stella di Campalto is small-scale Tuscan wine producer situated close to the hilltop town of Montalcino. The estate specializes in producing Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montalcino and Sant’Antimo wines from its selection of small “cru” vineyards.The 13 hectare (32 acre) estate was founded by the di Campalto family in 1992 after they acquired the San Giuseppe Winery that had fallen out of use some 50 years previously. Today, Stella di Campalto comprises six vineyards planted over approximately 6ha (15 acres) of land, with the remainder of the estate occupied by olive groves and woodlands.In the winery, each vineyard parcel is fermented separately in order to retain the unique qualities of each plot. A gravity flow system has been installed in the cellar to preseve phenolics whilst moving juice and wine. Once fermentation is complete, the wines are aged in small oak barrels, barriques or tonneaux.
