Luca Sanjust has a beautiful pocket of organic Cabernet Sauvignon vines that are reached by jeep on the tiny dirt road that goes from his villa to the ancient stone tower at the apex of the Petrolo property. The 2018 Val d'Arno di Sopra Cabernet Sauvignon Campo Lusso (now part of the DOC appellation) is a stunning wine, offering richness, intensity, power and impeccable balance. The wine is bursting with dark fruit, plum and blackberry, but it also offers ample tobacco and Indian spices. The tannins are young and I would suggest another few years of cellar aging before you bring this bottle out. When you do, make sure to serve it with an important steak dinner. This wine hits all your sensorial pleasure points. Dare I say it? Campo Lusso is gaining on Galatrona as my vino del cuore (the wine of my heart).

Opulent and juicy, this red features intense flavors of black currant, blackberry, iron, tobacco and Tuscan scrub. It's dense too, firming up as it builds to a long finish. Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2022 through 2032. 150 cases made, 15 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Val d'Arno di Sopra Select to Add
