ABOUT THIS BOTTLE
Campo di Camagi is one of the three labels of 100% Cabernet Franc produced by Andrea Franchetti. Since 2014 the utmost attention has been made to this historic grape of Bordeaux, enhancing its characteristics in relation to three different terroirs of the estate. It is produced exclusively with grapes from a single plot of 1.5 hectares composed of a thin layer of quartz and limestone. The 2020 Campo di Camagi shows notable density and yet remains very much medium bodied in overall structure. Dark cherry, plum, menthol, licorice, spice and mocha meld together in a wine that offers notable richness and textural presence, with maybe a bit less aromatic display than some of the other wines.
