Description
What kind of wine is it
Oltresogno Cabernet Sauvignon by Campo alle Comete is a still red wine with Indicazione Geografica Tipica from Tuscany. Fermented in steel and partly aged in oak barrels, it appears an intense and brilliant ruby red in the glass. On the nose, it reveals clear fruity and spicy notes, typical of the variety, while on the palate it offers a harmonious combination of mature, silky tannins and a lively, savoury freshness. This elegant texture delivers a persistent and fresh finish, resulting in a very balanced and enjoyable wine, ideal for pairing with cured meats, cheeses, and grilled meats.
Where does it come from
This wine originates in Tuscany, in the renowned Bolgheri area. The variety of different soils and a particularly favourable microclimate provide the optimal conditions for cultivating Cabernet Sauvignon. In this area, the grapes reach full ripeness, developing vigour and a fine tannic texture. The natural interaction between the pedoclimatic characteristics and the vine results in a clear, varietal flavour profile, where structure and acidity blend harmoniously in full respect of Bolgheri's identity.
How is it produced
Vinification involves alcoholic fermentation and maceration in steel containers for about three weeks, ensuring controlled extraction of colour and aromas. Maturation follows two distinct paths: half of the mass rests in steel to preserve freshness, while the other half ages for six months in French oak barrels, alternating between barriques and medium-toast tonneaux. This passage in wood imparts a measured spicy complexity to the wine. The process concludes with a further period of ageing, essential for blending the structure and ensuring impeccable balance.

Historically, Cabernet Sauvignon has been chosen as one of the three main grapes of the Bolgheri Denomination, where it finds the best growing conditions thanks to the various types of soil and the microclimate.
