Description
What kind of wine it is
Insoglio del Cinghiale by Tenuta Campo di Sasso is an enveloping dry red blend from Tuscany, created from the union of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Syrah. The glass reveals an intense ruby colour with violet highlights, introducing a bouquet characterised by floral notes and fruity aromas of blackberry and cherry. On the palate, it displays a medium-bodied, defined and juicy structure, enhanced by silky tannins that lead the drink towards a long and harmonious finish, capable of evolving beautifully over time.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in the Bibbona area, in the heart of the Maremma in Tuscany, a region distinguished by a favourable Mediterranean microclimate. The proximity to the coast ensures constant breezes that temper the summer heat and reduce humidity, allowing for optimal and consistent ripening of the grapes. The vines sink their roots into clay and sandy soils, enriched by the typical local conglomerate, which enhances the identity of each variety. This complex geological matrix gives the wine an ideal balance, skilfully balancing freshness and structure for a precise and clear drinking experience.
How it is produced
The production process begins with a meticulous manual harvest, followed by selection on a vibrating belt and gentle pressing. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks and large wooden barrels, thus shaping the structure of the wine while preserving the fragrance of the fruit. Subsequently, partial ageing in French oak barrels lends roundness to the palate without altering the varietal notes. A period of maturation on fine lees completes the process, giving the wine a clear aromatic complexity enhanced by delicate toasted hints.
History and Curiosities
A wine that symbolises the Campo di Sasso project, Insoglio del Cinghiale represents the gateway to the excellence of Tenuta di Biserno and the Marchesi Antinori. Conceived as a deliberately smooth and ready-to-drink expression, this Toscana IGT skilfully combines elegance and immediacy. The prestigious Magnum format of 1.5 litres from the 2023 vintage continues the glorious legacy of a label celebrated by critics such as James Suckling. An oenological masterpiece that promises extraordinary longevity, capable of offering unique sensations over time.

The terroir is predominantly sandy, and the microclimate is influenced by proximi- ty to the Tyrrhenian Sea: at Campo di Sasso, sea breezes blow constantly, reducing humidity and softening the hot summer temperatures in the vineyard, resulting in perfect grape ripening. In addition to Syrah—a historic variety for Campo di Sasso—Merlot, Sangiovese, and Petit Verdot are grown for red wines, and Vermentino for white wines.
