2021 Vermentino 'Albablu', Campo alle Comete

Tuscany, Italy

A fresh and elegant expression of Vermentino, with aromatic floral notes leading to a brisk and zesty citrus palate, beautifully balanced with a lovely mineral sensation on the long, vibrant finish. The Campo alle Comete winery is located at the foot of the Castagneto Carducci hill. The oldest vines are planted around the cellar surrounded by the Mediterranean bushland. The proximity of the sea with its constant refreshing breezes plays an important role in the vine’s growth and the maturation of the fruit, where the fresh breezes impart natural balancing acidity to the sun-ripened fruit.

Campo alle Comete is a 26-hectare estate nestled at the foot of Castagneto Carducci on the Etruscan River, just a stone’s throw from the Tyrrhenian Sea. The winery takes its name from historical connections, from the days when the Bolgheri countryside was marked by fields ‘Campi’ and when at night the paths were illuminated by stars -and the occasional comet- ‘Comete’. Evoking the soul of the place, which is rich in history, Campo alle Comete has an imaginative air, but behind the whimsical labels lie some seriously good wines. The visionary is Antonio Capaldo, who was attracted by this new adventure when he acquired the property in 2016. Seeking a new form of expression, he produces wines from international varieties. Renowned Italian illustrator Nicoletta Ceccoli, depicted Campo alle Comete in a painting known as ‘a place suspended between reality and imagination’ and her artwork has inspired the labels.

The whole bunches of Vermentino grapes were pressed immediately to avoid oxidation. After 24 hours of cold sedimentation, the must was racked. Fermentation took place with selected yeasts at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks to retain the purity of fruit and the characteristics of the Vermentino variety. Weekly stirring of the lees took place to optimise the lees contact imbuing the wine with volume and texture.
