Stella di Campalto is one of those winemakers whose name carries a certain gravity. Her Brunellos aren’t just wines—they’re expressions of place, philosophy, and pure artistry. Crafted with an almost spiritual dedication to biodynamics, Stella’s wines emerge from her vineyards like whispers of Montalcino itself, each bottle a testament to what patience and respect for the land can yield. Her “Bosco” Brunello, from the revered 2018 vintage, speaks to her belief in non-intervention; it’s Sangiovese in its most unadorned, expressive form, revealing a depth and elegance that few Brunellos can match.

In magnum format, the Bosco isn’t just a wine for a holiday feast—it’s a centerpiece, a focal point of conversation and contemplation. Its structure and acidity are perfectly suited for the rich flavors of Thanksgiving, pairing harmoniously with roasted meats, herbaceous stuffing, and root vegetables. This is not a wine you rush through; it’s a companion for an evening, for a gathering, for a moment worth remembering.
