Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2019 “Dedicato a Vittorio” shows a deep, intense ruby colour with garnet reflections at the rim, hinting at both concentration and early development. The nose opens with dark plum, black cherry and blackberry compote, layered with notes of violet, dried Mediterranean herbs, cocoa, cedar and a subtle graphite edge. On the palate, this is a full-bodied yet poised Merlot, with ripe, velvety tannins and a vibrant backbone of acidity that keeps the wine lively despite its richness. Flavours of black plum, mulberry and blackcurrant mingle with hints of tobacco leaf, mocha, sweet spice and a touch of savoury earth. The finish is long and persistent, with dark fruit and fine oak notes lingering. Already compelling in its youth, the 2019 has the structure and balance to evolve beautifully over the next 8–12 years, gaining further complexity and softening its tannins with time in the cellar.

Production
Campo al Pero’s vines lie in the Bolgheri DOC on the Tuscan coast, where maritime breezes, abundant sunshine and well-draining soils of sand, clay and pebbles create ideal conditions for Bordeaux varieties like Merlot. Grapes for the “Dedicato a Vittorio” are typically hand-harvested at optimal ripeness, with careful selection in the vineyard and at the winery to ensure only the best clusters are used. After a gentle crushing and destemming, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks to preserve aromatics and fruit purity, often with regular pump-overs or punch-downs to extract colour and fine tannins. The wine is then aged in oak barrels—commonly French barriques—for an extended period to add structure, spice and textural polish before final blending and bottling.

Food & Serving
This Bolgheri Rosso Superiore is a natural match for richly flavoured dishes and refined Tuscan-inspired cuisine. Pair it with grilled or roasted red meats, bistecca alla fiorentina, lamb chops with rosemary, slow-braised beef, game dishes, or aged cheeses such as Pecorino Toscano and Parmigiano Reggiano. It also works beautifully with truffle dishes, mushroom ragù and hearty pasta with meat sauces. Serve at 16–18°C (60–64°F) for optimal expression of fruit and aromatics. Decanting for 1–2 hours before serving is recommended, especially in its youth, to allow the wine to open up and reveal its full range of aromas and flavours.
