Campaccio Toscana IGT
70% Sangiovese, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot. Intense, ruby red. Aromas of cherry and plum are complemented with notes of licorice, pepper and spices. The palate is mouthfilling, persistent, and balanced, thanks to smooth tannins that are well integrated with the structure. An iconic wine with a long finish. 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.”
