Rated 93 by Wine Spectator
A thickly textured red, packed with solid tannins, this delivers mulberry, plum, iron, cedar and tar flavors. Monolithic today, with tannins leaving a strong grip on the long finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2024 through 2038. 833 cases made, 50 cases imported.

Rated 92 by Decanter
The dreamlike website of Campo alle Comete is a unique way to showcase the wines - a new project of Feudi San Gregorio in Tuscany which has begun to show some consistency despite the trick vintage. The blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot is dominated by a clay minerality and thick extraction, not without intriguing notes of violet, plums and a blonde pipe tobacco finish. Firm, grainy, youthful tannins need more time to evolve.

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, this opens with aromas of mature black-skinned berries, roasted coffee bean and cedar. The concentrated palate offers black currant, licorice, mocha and tobacco alongside fine-grained tannins. Drink 2022–2030.
Winery
COLOR: Deep ruby red color with violet hues. NOSE: Intense ruby red color. It shows a very complex nose, red fruits notes with hints of sour cherries followed by balsamic aromas of mint and bitter cocoa with light grassy notes. FLAVOR: The palate is elegant thanks to the smooth tannins, with a remarkable volume and a long finish.

Region: Tuscany

Tuscany has been producing fine wines for almost three thousand years, and as such is widely recognized as being one of the key Old World wine regions which have shaped the way we understand and enjoy quality wines throughout history. Interestingly, the region is typified by a unique soil type which is not particularly good for growing grapevines, but in Tuscany, the emphasis has always been on quality over quantity, and low yields with high levels of flavor and intensity are preferred, and have become a feature of the region's wine industry. The main grape varietals grown in Tuscany are Sangiovese for the distinctive, flavorful and complex red wines, and Vernaccia for the exquisite dry white wines, although the last couple of decades have seen more varietals grown and an increasing trend towards 'Bordeaux style' wines.

Country: Italy

For several decades in the mid to late twentieth century, Italy's reputation for quality wines took a fairly serious blow. This was brought about partly due to lack of regulation in certain regions, and too much regulation in others. This led to several wineries in the beautiful and highly fertile region of Tuscany making the bold move to work outside of the law, which they saw as responsible for the drop in quality in Tuscan wines. They believed that they had the expertise and the generations of experience necessary with which to make truly excellent, world class wines, and set about doing just that. These 'Super Tuscans', as they came to be known, quickly inspired the rest of Italy to improve their produce, and now, Italian wine producers in the twenty-first century are widely recognised to be amongst the best in the world. Regulation and law began to change, and wine drinkers across the globe woke up to the outstanding wines coming out of Italy, which are continuing to improve and impress to this day.
