A pure expression of Merlot, the Campo al Pero 2019 Bolgheri Superiore Dedicato a Vittorio comes from a site with mixed alluvial soils located just above sea level at 45 meters in elevation. With vines planted between 1999 and 2002, it shows nice layering with black fruit, tobacco, ripe cherry and sweet spice. Ripe Merlot sensations play softly in the background with the oak tones that stand out now. As the wine evolves, I'm curious if the fruit will wake up or fade out. This is a production of 1,800 bottles.
