Comment on noteThe wine
Far from the beaten paths of Chianti, today I'm taking you to Bibbona, on the Tuscan coast, for an unforgettable encounter. This wine from the Campo di Sasso estate is a true gem, a bold and refined expression of what Tuscany can offer beyond the classic paths.
The Campo di Sasso estate, nestled in the Bibbona region, benefits from a unique terroir, influenced by the proximity of the sea and rich soils. This wine, classified Toscana IGT, is the fruit of a meticulous blend of Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Syrah, a grape variety often associated with other regions, finds here a particularly elegant and harmonious expression, testifying to the capacity for innovation of this Tuscan estate.
From the very first glance, its color will captivate you with its intensity. On the nose, you will discover a complex and seductive bouquet: notes of ripe red fruits mingle with spicy and balsamic touches, an invitation to an olfactory journey. On the palate, this wine reveals a balanced structure and a beautiful persistence. The traditional fermentation in steel tanks preserves the purity of the fruit, while the 12 months spent in oak barrels give it remarkable complexity and roundness, without ever masking its fruity character.
This 2024 is a wine made for gastronomy. I warmly recommend it with grilled or roasted red meats, where its structure and aromas will pair wonderfully. It will also accompany game with brilliance, revealing all its aromatic power. For cheese lovers, don't hesitate to serve it with aged cheeses, it will enhance their flavors. It is a wine that invites sharing, perfect for a special occasion or simply to treat yourself and discover another facet of Tuscany.
