Light-bodied and dry, the acidity zesty and the finish long and vibrant. Vermentino 100%.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe producer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCampo alle Comete is a 26-hectare estate at the foot of Castagneto Carducci on the Etruscan River, a stone's throw from the Tyrrhenian Sea, and takes its name from the days when the Bolgheri countryside was a patchwork of fields — 'campi' — and its paths were lit at night by stars and the occasional comet, 'comete'. Antonio Capaldo acquired the property in 2016 to make wine from international varieties, and commissioned the Italian illustrator Nicoletta Ceccoli, whose painting of the estate as 'a place suspended between reality and imagination' gave the labels their look; the estate was awarded B Corporation certification in 2022. The oldest vines ring the cellar amid Mediterranean bushland, and the Guyot-trained Vermentino grows in light, sandy soils that are warm, airy and free-draining, where the constant sea breezes put balancing acidity back into sun-ripened fruit; the vineyard is farmed on organic principles using only copper and sulphur preparations, and the fruit is hand-harvested and taken straight to the cellar. Whole bunches were pressed immediately to avoid oxidation, the must was settled cold for 24 hours and racked, then fermented with selected yeasts at cool temperatures in stainless steel, with weekly lees stirring to build volume and texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood and drinking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe at 8 to 10°C.
