Tasting notes
A pure expression of Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2013 Campo Lusso is a dark and savory red wine that offers a sophisticated and quiet demeanor. The wine takes a while to open, and once it does, it maintains a certain air of distance, restraint and formality. This characteristic seems to reflect the wine's inner heart and soul. It offers evolved aromas of dried blackberry, cured meat and exotic spice. The finish is dry, linear and direct. This is a very unique expression of the grape that explores the introspective side of the otherwise charming and boisterous Luca Sanjust. I would recommend a few more years of cellar aging.

The 2013 Campo Lusso, Petrolo's 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, is dark, powerful and super-concentrated, with terrific overall balance, the 2013 hits all the right notes. Crème de cassis, blueberry jam, menthol, violets and licorice take shape in an unctuous, flamboyant Cabernet Sauvignon endowed with tons of personality. Even with all of its intensity, the Campo Lusso retains a good amount of freshness. I would give the 2013 at least a few years in bottle and drink it over the next 10-15 years.
