Campo di Sasso, ‘Insoglio del Cinghiale’ 2019

Producer

“Insoglio del Cinghiale makes for a very  good, well-balanced wine, true to the region, at an accessible price. It is made from 32% Syrah and the remaining part is a blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. In Insoglio del Cinghiale we have a very fleshy wine, from the distinctive Upper Maremma terroir. The peppery characteristics coming from the Syrah makes it the ideal accompaniment to game dishes, such as the local wild boar cinghiale (after which it is named), roast pheasant or rich game stews. Slightly chilled, it is equally good in summer with picnics and barbecues.” – Producer

The brainchild of Marchese Lodovico Antinori, Tenuta di Biserno is a 90 hectare estate set in Western Tuscany, in the coastal area of the Upper Marrema. It lies among the hills of Bibbona and borders the Bolgheri DOC. Lodovico Antinori chose this particular terroir because it is “very similar to Saint Emilion and Pomerol”. It logically follows that the estate would planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot, on soils comprising of sand and silt with a high percentage of clay. The wines, produced with renown consultant Michel Rolland are bold, intense and detailed in the Super Tuscan style and include the flagship blend Biserno and the “second wine” of the estate, Il Pino di Biserno.
