Campo al Noce "Zigolo" Bolgheri Rosso DOC 2022 - Country: Italy - Capacity: 0.75

Let's start with the blend. We are in Bolgheri and, as is logical to expect, the base of this Miterre proposed by the Campo al Noce winery could only be a classic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes. In this case, however, the magical Bordeaux trio is joined by a hint of Syrah, ready to reinforce its noble companions, adding that hint of spice so beloved of wine lovers all over the world. Harvested by hand from the first ten days of September, an initial rigorous selection of the grapes is carried out in the vineyard to ensure that only the best, healthiest and ripest are brought to the cellar. Vinification is traditional, with particular attention paid to the extraction phase of colour and tannins, which requires profound attention to the starting material. Then, at the end of the vinification process, French oak barriques are used for the maturation phase, where the wine rests for no less than 12 months. The result is a red wine characterised by a brilliant ruby colour. On the nose, notes of red fruits, blackberries and currants stand out, made more intriguing by hints of aromatic herbs and spicy tones. In the mouth, finally, it reveals itself to be a generous, savoury and full-bodied wine. Excellent balance and pleasant persistence. ...
