A natural theatre, protected to the east by the Metalliferous Hills which slope down towards the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The conformation of this area leads to a special microclimate characterised by hot summers always cooled by the continuous winds coming from the sea and channelled by the Tuscan archipelago. Approaching the coast, the soils vary from being clay loam to loose. These particular conditions give structure but also elegance and freshness to the wines of Bolgheri.
Bolgheri is a territory characterised by international grapes. The pedo-climatic features have conditioned the viticulture of this part of Tuscany, identifying Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot as the right grape varieties for this area reminiscent of Bordeaux. Power, elegance, finesse and a great inclination to aging are the peculiar characteristics of the wines made from these grapes used as a blend or in purity. The cultivation of international grapes is accompanied by that of Vermentino which in Bolgheri has found a great interpretation of the Tuscan coast.
Tenuta Campo al Mare extends over 30 hectares divided into six parcels located in the areas with the highest wine-growing suitability of Bolgheri. From the Fornacelle vineyard near the Tyrrhenian Sea, characterised by sandy soils suited to the production of Vermentino, up to the Segalari vineyard on the highest production area of Bolgheri, where Cabernet Franc expresses its most important characteristics, each parcel is dedicated to cultivation of a single vine variety according to its suitability.
Campo al Mare’s wine production is characterised by Bolgheri Rosso, a blend of international grapes, Vermentino and Rosato. Baia al Vento and Gallico, respectively Merlot and Petit Verdot, represent the winery’s varietal expressions.
