Thank you for visiting Wine Camp. I created Wine Camp to promote the discussion of terroir driven wines in a points free environment. I believe the current addiction to the 100 point scale pulls many consumers away from wines with grace, complexity and a true sense of place. Here you will find no rankings and all of the wines in my wine notes are recommended. The only exception you’ll find is if I think a particular brand is a consumer rip-off that needs exposing as in this post.

Sant'Antimo, Ateo, Ciacci Piccolomini d'Argona, 2000

DateTuesday, September 19, 2006 at 9:16PM

Well I did not expect much from this famed Brunello producer now making a wine from a D.O.C. essentially created by Banfi, but boy was I wrong. This is a lovely wine with an earthy intensity that surprised when I was expecting a bland oaky internationally styled wine. This is a real Tuscan wine worth drinking with a big steak. Outstanding structure, complexity and varietal intensity. Drink now and over the next several years.

On the nose it didn't said too much, but in the taste there was more to come.
I've just finished a bottle of ATEO, lot of frutiness in taste and a little bit jammy.
The tannins are there i a smooth way. Don't held to long in the cellar!
