“Just 1,200 instead of the usual 3,000 bottles were produced in 2017 for Stefano Granata and his wife at I Luoghi, the top garagiste of Bolgheri. It's a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Cabernet Franc aged for at least 18 months in 50% new French oak, without any Merlot and almost all 'sotto strada' (below the Bolgherese road). Campo al Fico shows an amazing nose full of spice, from clove to black pepper, then cola followed by cassis and pencil lead. It's almost 'Figeac' in style, showing earthy tones and firm tannins that flow over the mid-palate with a ripe finish, good freshness and relatively moderate 14% alcohol.”
