Campo di Sasso - Insoglio del Cinghiale Toscana IGT 2024

Marchese Lodovico Antinori discovered the property of Tenuta di Biserno near Bibbona, in the Alta Maremma area of Tuscany, in 1994, while looking for additional land to expand his Tenuta dell’Ornellaia vineyard. Given its proximity to Bolgheri, it is not surprising he was at first struck by the similarity in terroir. What he found in Bibbona, however, had so much potential, he was inspired to develop a quite different plan. With more hills and stones than nearby Bolgheri, this land appeared to be ideally suited to produce a new and different wine. In 2001 Lodovico and his brother, Piero, established Tenuta di Biserno as an elite wine estate.

Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc. Aged for 7 months partly in steel and partly in wood.

"The Campo di Sasso 2024 Insoglio del Cinghiale shows dark fruit flavors of blackberry and wild plum, delivering an easygoing and fruit-forward expression. First produced in 2003, it is a blend dominated by Syrah, with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc in lesser quantities, and it spends a brief six months aging, partly in oak and partly in stainless steel, to preserve freshness and drinkability. Light in mouthfeel but supported by sufficient fruit and acidity, the wine would work well alongside cheesy dishes such as pizza, baked pasta or young pecorino." - 89 Points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
