The prodigy of Gianfranco Soldera, there was no single greater mentor from which the young Stella di Campalto could learn the mysteries of Montalcino than the legendary winemaker, whose eponymous estate represents the apotheosis of modern Brunello for many lovers of the region. 

At the very forefront of the new wave in Brunello di Montalcino, Stella di Campalto is a young, ambitious winemaker dedicating herself to her craft to further the quality and renown of Brunello di Montalcino.

Austere and often more rustic than many would perhaps prefer, there is more polish and subtle generosity to this Tuscan giant, Stella di Campalto is Brunello’s “one of the most promising young growers” (VN) in the eyes of Antonio Galloni of Vinous.
