2023 Rosso Bolgheri 'Stupore', Campo alle Comete
Bolgheri, Tuscany, Italy
From the glittering coast of Bolgheri, the 2023 Stupore captures everything that makes this corner of Tuscany so magnetic: warmth, elegance, and quiet sophistication. A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, it opens with heady aromas of ripe plum, wild herbs and dark chocolate, laced with tobacco leaf and a whisper of the sea breeze. On the palate, it’s silky and refined, the fruit deep and supple, wrapped in fine tannins and a gentle balsamic note that lingers long after each sip. This is modern Bolgheri: rich yet poised, effortlessly graceful.
For when: the evening deserves a little Italian magic.
Pairs with: slow-cooked ragu, grilled steak, or aged pecorino.
If this wine were a night sky, it’d be scattered with stars, luminous, layered, and full of wonder.
Born beneath the cypress-lined hills of Castagneto Carducci, Stupore is the work of visionary producer Antonio Capaldo at Campo alle Comete, a 26-hectare estate where imagination meets precision. The organically farmed vineyards, caressed by Tyrrhenian breezes and rooted in sand-rich soils, produce fruit of purity and finesse. Aged for nine months in French oak, this is Bolgheri craftsmanship at its most beguiling and with 95 points from Wine Enthusiast, it’s a star worth following.
