Winemaker Notes
Vinification:After one year of aging in barriques, a selection of Campaccio is made and added 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.The Campaccio Riserva is then left to age in wood for another year. On top of that it sojourns in the bottle for 12 months before being released.
The deep, intense ruby colour with garnet reflections, is an indication of the extraordinary depth, richness and complexity of this superb wine, a blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon, whose ample bouquet is reminiscent of spices. It could be best defined as a multi-dimensional wine, for the sensory richness evoked in the taster, not only on the nose and in the diversity of flavours, but in the textured sensation of volume actually lingering on the palate.
Professional Ratings
Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.
A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
