Campo Alle Comete Campo alle Comete Oltresogno Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 750ml

On the nose, tart blackberries and black plums are balanced by the spicy warmth of green and black peppercorn and tea leaf. The palate adds nuance with sweet, cool notes of berries, damp earth and mixed herbs, beneath a dusting of salt and pepper that sets up a bright, acidic, salty finish.

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Oltresogno is made in forward, fruity style. Dried herbs, leather, game, forest floor and licorice add shades of nuance, but this midweight Cabernet is all about forward fruit and supple tannins. This is a very good Bolgheri Cabernet Sauvignon. I am keenly interested to learn if more is possible.

A youthful ruby red color, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Oltresogno is expressive and ripe on the nose with aromas of toasted cedar, sweet herbs, currants, baked red berries, and pie spices. The palate offers an elegant, full-bodied feel, with refined tannins, even acidity, and a gently tapering finish. It’s a highly charming wine to drink now or over the next 6-7 years.

Dense and tight, with muted flavors of plum, blackberry, earth and spices locked within a grip of sinewy tannins. Good length. Best from 2027 through 2035. 2,482 cases made, 880 cases imported.
