Bolgheri DOC Superiore Campo al Fico 2022 I Luoghi

The Supertuscan Campo al fico from the winery I Luoghi is a red wine produced in the Bolgheri area, a Tuscan wine region dedicated to the production of Bordeaux-inspired wines. It is primarily made from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes with a portion of Cabernet Franc grapes, sourced from vineyards with high planting density to ensure low yields and maximum quality of the grapes.

The harvest is carried out manually with careful selection of the bunches. Fermentation occurs spontaneously with skin maceration for about 20 days, enhancing the structure and aromatic complexity of the wine. The aging involves a long resting period in new French oak barrels, followed by an additional period in bottle to develop finesse and depth.

Visually, it presents an intense ruby red color. On the nose, sensations of blackberry, currant, and blueberry emerge, accompanied by sweet spicy, mineral, and balsamic notes. On the palate, it has great structure, with velvety tannins that provide balance and elegance, leading to an intense and persistent finish.

It pairs perfectly with grilled red meats, braised dishes, game, and aged cheeses.
