Campo alle Comete Description
Intense red ruby color. In the nose a fruity hint of fresh plum and cherry, blending with sweet roasted cocoa notes and a hint of balsamic eucalyptus reminding the Mediterranean scrub. Soft and balanced on the palate with fruity notes. Persistent aftertaste with rich aromas and a pleasant fresh finish.
Pairs well with sliced cold meet and cheese, excellent with grilled meat, sausages and lamb.
Wine Enthusiast: 95 Points
Aromas of raspberries, Mission figs, mandarin blossom, espresso and dark chocolate bring a richness to the nose that continues onto a palate of raspberry jam, abundant citrus and very ripe peaches. Salinity adds a buoyancy, while substantial, textured tannins act as an anchor.
Jeb Dunnuck: 92 Points
The 2023 Bolgheri Rosso is a dark purple hue and is generous and forward in the glass with boysenberry compote, candied purple flowers, blueberry, and sappy sweet herbs. A Merlot-dominated blend, it has the addition of 25% each Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Full-bodied, it has plush ripe tannins, an approachable feel, and a good finish. It’s very charming and versatile, with a very pretty feel. Drink now or over the coming 7-8 years.
