94 Point Bolgheri Rosso

BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED BOLGHERI

"Campo alle Comete estate is a new rising star, or comete, of the Bolgheri wine region located in Tuscany. A couple of years ago, I spent a few days exploring the Bolgheri... I visited classic producers, but also wanted to discover something new and exciting. I struck gold with Campo alle Comete! The preexisting vineyards, planted between 1993 and 2007 were purchased by the famed Campanian estate of Feudi di San Gregorio in February of 2016. I was beyond impressed with the wines, which are a wonderful reflection of the Bolgheri and they resonate of place. We originally sold this 'intense and pure' wine as a pre-arrival and then I was able to get my hands on just a touch more, but we only got enough to promote locally in Los Angeles at the time. Recently, I was able to get more, so now we have enough of this delicious 94 point blend of Merlot, Syrah, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon to promote to our entire customer base. This wine is showing beautifully now, and is at the start of its long drinking window. This is our last drop of this wine, so don't wait too long!" – Lance Montalto, The Wine House

"Intense and pure, with a beam of black cherry, wild herbs and spice piercing a dark abyss of finely wrought tannins. Terrific acidity keeps this fresh and focused, while the finish evokes chocolate, ripe fruit, spice and mineral notes. Merlot, Syrah, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2020 through 2032." – Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator (July 2018)

About Campo Alle Comete

Campo alle Comete estate is located at the foot of Castagneto Carducci, in province of Livorno. The property extends over 17 Ha, 14.5 of which are vineyards and 2.5 hectares are olive trees. The grape varieties Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Petit Verdot, planted between 1993 and 2007, are all written into the Bolgheri DOC registry. The winery practices sustainable farming, and in 2016 they started the conversion of the vineyards to organic. The type of soil is mostly loose/sandy with some clay and a part of limestone. The mild temperatures, constant winds and significant temperature fluctuations between day and night create ideal conditions for a balanced growth of the vines and an excellent grape maturation. The result are healthy grapes, favored by a lower attack of botrytis and diseases. Their aromatic, intense scents and their ripe, fine tannins characterize the wines and create a good pleasantness even at an early age. The estate was acquired in February 2016 by famous Feudi di San Gregorio winery in Tuscany. The name Campo alle Comete is an antique toponym from this area, which disappeared over time. The whole representation of Campo alle Comete, with its magical name (Cometa means "guiding star" or "Comet" in Italian), wants to bring the consumer into a dream world. Nicoletta Ceccoli, an illustrator from San Marino and winner of various art awards, has designed not only its logo but also a dreamlike picture, exhibited at the winery, from which they have also taken the fairy images represented in the labels. The director of Campo alle Comete is Jeanette Servidio. Together with oenologist Stefano Di Blasi, she has created 4 high quality wines within the DOC Bolgheri and IGT Toscana appellations.
