This estate run by the Ferragamo family delivers a modern and lush expression of Brunello that is soft, velvety and chocolaty in the mouth. The fruit flavors are immediate and intense and focus primarily on blackberry and cherry.

As an expression of pure power, this wine is hard to beat. It has the classic Brunello color—red with edges of brick. The aromas are of bitter coffee, herbs and mature, ripe fruit. On the palate, the concentration is enormous, the tannins pack a serious punch and the supermature fruit is black and bright. All this gives it a one-dimensional, if impressive quality.

Seductive and irresistible, Campo del Drago offers abundant density, richness and flavor. This hearty Brunello is bursting with cherries, blueberries, spice and milk chocolate. It’s a modern, hedonistic wine with chewy density and a smooth, creamy texture.

Intense, rich, full-bodied: this wine has all the makings of Big Brunello with two capital Bs. Chewy fruit, incense-like sassiness, and an extra smooth ride over a panoramic finish. Nothing is out of place and no one element overpowers the others. Drink 2010–2020. Imported by William Grant & Sons, Inc.

Campo del Drago Brunello boasts a soft, modern style with creamy chocolate and opulent cherry overtones. The wine is almost ready to drink (try it after 2014) but would also make a promising candidate for more years of cellar aging.

Plush and softly textured, this modern expression of Brunello boasts generous tones of black fruit, cherry, tobacco, leather and cola with smooth, silky tannins. You could age this wine many more years, or drink it sooner thanks to the inherent softness here.

Here is a sweet, plump and succulent Brunello with bright notes of cherry, blackberry, spice, leather and a touch of dark chocolate. The wine is extra soft and smooth in the mouth and those bright cherry flavors last a long time on the finish. The tannins are polished and dry. Drink after 2014.

This is a modern and pleasurable Rosso di Montalcino with bright notes of cherry, forest berry and blue flowers. Those aromas are enhanced by soft shadings of spice and toast. The wine is crisp, sharp and fresh in the mouth.
