Tasting notes
The 2020 Campo Lusso is a pretty open, aromatic wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. Medium in structure with advancing aromatics, this is an intriguing Cabernet Sauvignon that should be consumed in the near term. Leather, spice, tobacco and dried cherry notes come forward. This wine is up and down.

The organic Petrolo 2020 Valdarno di Sopra Cabernet Sauvignon Campo Lusso was born in a hot vintage; however, the vineyard location at the highest part of this property (at 480 meters in elevation) just under the imposing Galatrona tower is key to maintaining freshness. These vines were planted in 2001 (just half a hectare with 5,000 plants), and Campo Lusso is quickly rising to the top of the portfolio, eyeing the prized position held by the Merlot-based Galatrona. It's exciting to see where this wine will take us, especially in a more balanced growing season. This new release from 2020 is beautifully plush and rich, with accessible fruit tones of blackberry and blackcurrant. The tannins are softly integrated into the wine's full-bodied texture. Only 2,000 bottles were released.
