2017 Campo Alle Comete Bolgheri Superiore, Tuscany, Italy
ABOUT THE WINE
The 2017 Campo Alle Comete Bolgheri Superiore is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot sourced from the estate’s prime vineyard plots in Bolgheri, a coastal region known for its sun-soaked days and cooling Tyrrhenian breezes. A warm vintage with early ripening conditions brought concentration and plush fruit, balanced by careful vineyard management to preserve freshness.
The wine opens with aromas of cassis, wild berries, bay leaf, tobacco, and crushed stone. On the palate, it shows depth and poise—ripe dark fruit layered with cocoa, cedar, and a hint of balsamic character. The texture is silky but structured, thanks to 18 months of aging in French oak barrels (30% new), followed by bottle refinement. Organically farmed and hand-harvested, the wine reflects both terroir and thoughtful winemaking.
Best enjoyed with grilled lamb, wild boar ragù, or aged pecorino, it’s a wine that rewards decanting now or cellaring for 5–10 more years.
ABOUT THE PRODUCER
Campo Alle Comete is a young but soulful estate located at the foot of Castagneto Carducci in Bolgheri, on Tuscany’s celebrated coast. Acquired in 2016 by the Feudi di San Gregorio group, the winery fuses classical Tuscan terroir with a whimsical, contemporary aesthetic. The name—evoking "field of comets"—references both a dreamlike vision and a deep connection to the cosmos and nature.
Farming is done sustainably, with attention to biodiversity and minimal intervention. The winemaking philosophy is guided by precision and elegance, aiming to craft wines that express Bolgheri’s unique microclimate and soil diversity. Campo Alle Comete is quickly becoming a standout in Bolgheri, combining technical mastery with a sense of place and poetry.
