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

Italy is recognised as being one of the finest wine producing countries in the world, and it isn't difficult to see why. With a vast amount of land across the country used primarily for vineyard cultivation and wine production, each region of Italy manages to produce a wide range of excellent quality wines, each representative of the region it is produced in. Any lover of Italian wines will be able to tell you of the variety the country produces, from the deliciously astringent and alpine-fresh wines of the northern borders, to the deliciously jammy and fruit-forward wines of the south and the Italian islands. Regions such as Barolo are frequently compared with Bordeaux and Burgundy in France, as their oak aged red wines have all the complexity and earthy, spicy excellence of some of the finest wines in the world, and the sparkling wines of Asti and elsewhere in Italy can easily challenge and often exceed the high standards put forward by Champagne. Thanks to excellent terrain and climatic conditions, Italy has long since proven itself a major player in the world of wines, and long may this dedication to quality and excellence continue.
