Tenuta Campo Di Sasso - Insoglio Del Cinghiale 2015 Ml. 750
Winery Tenuta Campo Di Sasso
Characteristic
Campo di Sasso is formed by three different plots of vineyards west of the road that joins Bibbona to Bolgheri on the lower elevation, which means the land is more sandy and the climate is warmer during the summer months. These conditions are ideal for growing Syrah, which accounts for 34% of the blend of Insoglio del Cinghiale.
INSOGLIO
This wine is from a nearby, quite separate estate, Tenuta Campo di Sasso, comprending 3 plots of 46 hectars placed in south west of Biserno, 7 chilometres and close to the town of Bibbona. The soils here is very different from the one of Biserno, most sandy very good drainage, and livel clay. The first vintage here, was 2003, a famously hot summer, which helped both to produce a great Syrah and to put the wine on the map. The debut vintage created a great number of fans. As we celebrate 12 years of production, 2015 offered us another fantastic, suitable celebratory year. Insoglio del Cinghiale makes for a very good, well-balanced wine, true to the region, at an accessible price. It is made from 32% Syrah and the remaining part is a blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. In Insoglio del Cinghiale we have a very fleshy wine, from the distinctive Upper Maremma terroir. The peppery characteristics coming from the Syrah make it the ideal accompaniment to game dishes, such as the local wild boar cinghiale (after which it is named), roast pheasant or rich game stews. Slightly chilled, it is equally good in summer with picnics and barbecues.
