Part of the endless purity of Stella’s sweeping vineyard slope is its isolation; here her organic/biodynamic vines are surrounded by wild forest, a vibrant ecosystem that gives life and energy to this southern end of Montalcino. ‘Bosco,’ or forest in Italian, is a single-vineyard selection from Stella’s lowest-elevation plot, facing south. Here earthy notes mix with the whisper of pine forests and the juicy red fruits that pull their spark from the bold Tuscan sun. Aged for 34 months in cask, and 30 months in bottle before release.
Oftentimes discovering one’s true calling requires a leap of faith. Stella di Campalto found hers in an abandoned farm and winery in Montalcino, land that she restored to vibrant life with her own hands.
The San Giuseppe winery, not far from the ninth-century abbey of Sant’Antimo, was established in 1910 yet abandoned in the 1940s. Her family purchased the property in the early 1990s. Yet it wasn’t until her aunt encouraged her to explore this bucolic southeastern corner of Montalcino, with its forests and ancient olive groves, that Stella realized how much her staid life in Milan was taking away from her and her children.
Once at San Giuseppe, she was more than captivated—she realized she had come home.
Seeking the help of local winemakers and friends, she planted the estate to only Sangiovese vines and from the start, insisted on organic/biodynamic agriculture. Her convictions and her practice are all born from diligent observation and a guiding respect for the land and vine.
Today Stella di Campalto is one of Brunello di Montalcino’s most sought-after producers, and certainly one of its most respected artisans. She has achieved this through her natural, non-interventionist approach and almost magic ability to guide the soul of her vines into each bottle.
