The 2016 Rosso di Montalcino in magnum is a stunningly pure and finely sculpted expression, showcasing the vintage’s exceptional balance through Stella’s unmistakably ethereal style. The bouquet rises with vibrant notes of red cherry, raspberry, rose petal, wild herbs, and orange zest, layered with hints of spice and delicate earthy undertones. On the palate, the wine is taut, vertical, and wonderfully precise, driven by bright acidity and silk-thread tannins that give the wine both focus and lift. Layers of crisp red fruit, savory herbs, crushed stone, and a subtle balsamic nuance unfold with elegant persistence, leading into a long, harmonious finish that feels both energetic and serene. In magnum, the 2016 Rosso shows extraordinary depth and longevity—an eloquent, soulful wine that beautifully reflects one of Stella’s greatest vintages.

Stella di Campalto is a singular presence in Montalcino—an estate defined by biodynamic farming, patience, and an almost spiritual dedication to expressing Sangiovese with purity and grace. Located in the secluded southeastern reaches of the appellation near Castelnuovo dell’Abate, her vineyards benefit from high elevation, constant breezes, and soils of clay, sand, and limestone that impart lift, clarity, and mineral depth. Every aspect of production is intensely artisanal: late harvesting for optimal ripeness, long native-yeast fermentations, and slow maturation in large neutral oak and cement. Stella’s wines are renowned for their luminosity, tension, and emotional resonance, capturing both the individuality of each vintage and the quiet, contemplative character of her estate. Small production and uncompromising craftsmanship have made her bottlings some of the most sought-after in all of Tuscany.
