Insoglio del Cinghiale Tuscany

The "Campo di Sasso" project was launched in 1995 by Marchese Lodovico Antinori. Originally planned as part of the Tenuta dell'Ornellaia estate, which he owned at the time, the project quickly became independent, and just seven years later, Lodovico Antinori, together with his brother Piero, his nephew Niccolò Marzichi Lenzi, and landowner Umberto Mannoni, founded Tenuta Campo di Sasso as a separate winery. Under Lodovico Antinori's direction, they now cultivate 50 hectares of vines in the Bibbona mountains, bordering Bolgheri – primarily Cabernet Franc, with smaller amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Young vines provide the grapes for this Insoglio del Cinghiale, aged for eight months in oak barrels, giving it a strong, expressive character despite its youth. The Insoglio is wonderfully balanced, rounded, and seductive. Robert M. Parker: 92 points for the 2018 vintage. James Suckling: 93 points for the 2018 vintage.
