The name Campo to Comets comes from a historical name of the area where the company is based, that "disappeared" over time.
The first signtature wine from Campo alle Comete is 'Stupore', a Bolgheri DOC, from 2015's harvest. The name was chosen to reflect tradition and experience but also poetry and imagination and to amaze, with memorable flavours and tastes.
