Campaccio Toscana IGT
Intense, ruby color. The nose has aromas of cherry and plum melted with notes of licorice, pepper and spices. The palate is wide, persistent and balanced thanks to a smooth tannic texture well integrated into its structure. An iconic wine with a long finish and remarkable aging potential.
“In the local dialect, campasc (for Campaccio) means poor, rough field. The name represents the fundamental link between the soil and the vine, which gives its best in poorer soils.”
