Description

Imagine yourself transported to the sun-drenched hills of Bolgheri, Tuscany, where the vineyards of Campo alle Comete thrive. This is where Visibilio Bolgheri DOC Rosso is born – a wine that encapsulates the essence of this prestigious Italian region. Visibilio, meaning 'visible' in Italian, truly lives up to its name, offering a clear and unforgettable glimpse into the soul of Bolgheri.

Campo alle Comete, meaning Field of Comets, is a relatively young winery, but in these years, it is focused on highlighting the unique terroir of the Bolgheri DOC through meticulous vineyard management and modern winemaking techniques.

This wine is typically a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and a possible touch of Petit Verdot, creating a symphony of flavors that dance on the palate. The 2023 vintage offers an intense bouquet of ripe dark fruits like black cherry and plum, intertwined with hints of Mediterranean herbs, tobacco, and a subtle spice. The influence of the terroir is evident, with elegant earthy notes adding complexity and depth.

On the palate, Visibilio is a balanced and harmonious wine. The tannins are well-integrated, providing a smooth and velvety texture. The fruit-forward character is beautifully complemented by a refreshing acidity that keeps the wine lively and engaging. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a pleasant memory of dark fruit, spice, and a touch of minerality.

But what truly sets Visibilio apart is its versatility. This wine is a perfect companion to a wide range of dishes. Pair it with grilled meats, such as a succulent Florentine steak, or enjoy it with roasted game. It also complements hearty pasta dishes, especially those with rich tomato-based sauces or wild mushrooms. For a cheese pairing, try it with aged Pecorino or Parmigiano-Reggiano.

This wine represents both the rich winemaking tradition of the Bolgheri region and also the constant will to improve and innovate. Visibilio captures the spirit of Tuscany in every sip.
