Tasting notes
The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Campo Lusso is a pretty, gracious wine. The bright, red-toned fruit matches the wine’s mid-weight structure nicely. Time in bottle should help the 2015 come together a bit more fully and develop a bit more aromatic complexity. This is a decidedly fruity, yet understated, lithe wine from Petrolo. (AG)

This wine is now part of the Val d'Arno di Sopra DOC appellation. A pure expression of Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2015 Val d'Arno di Sopra Campo Lusso is thick, brooding and even a little raw in places. You can taste the grape skins here, with those sun-ripened favors of dark berry and black cherry. The wine is a bit sharp and edgy in terms of mouthfeel with sour fruit and plum-like favors. The finish delivers power and personality.
A layered and beautiful mountain cabernet with currant, violet and dark berry undertones. Full body, dense and powerful with so much fruit and hints of vanilla and coffee. Needs three or four years to come together. A tiny production, handmade jewel.
