About Tenuta Campo di Sasso

Tenuta Campo di Sasso is a distinguished wine estate located in the coastal region of Bibbona, in Tuscany, Italy. Established by the celebrated Antinori family, specifically Lodovico Antinori, it represents a continuation of a legacy deeply rooted in winemaking excellence and innovation. The estate spans over 80 hectares, with vineyards strategically positioned to take advantage of the unique terroir, characterized by sandy soils, rolling hills, and the moderating influence of the nearby Tyrrhenian Sea. This location provides an ideal microclimate for cultivating international grape varieties, particularly those of Bordeaux origin, which thrive under the region’s warm days and cool nights.

Tenuta Campo di Sasso’s philosophy centers on respecting the land while embracing modern viticultural techniques. The estate is committed to sustainable practices, minimizing intervention in both the vineyard and the cellar to allow the natural expression of the grapes and the site. The vineyards are planted mainly with Syrah, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot, alongside smaller plots of Vermentino and other varietals. Careful canopy management, hand-harvesting, and precise selection ensure only the best fruit is used in their wines.

The estate’s flagship wine, Insoglio del Cinghiale, is a blend dominated by Syrah, complemented by Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. This wine is celebrated for its vibrant fruit, supple tannins, and aromatic complexity, reflecting both the Tuscan landscape and the cosmopolitan approach of the estate. Insoglio del Cinghiale is approachable in its youth yet possesses the structure to age gracefully. Other notable wines include Occhione, a fresh and aromatic white made primarily from Vermentino, and the more structured, age-worthy wines such as Pino di Biserno, which further showcase the estate’s commitment to quality and depth.
