Petrolo Campo Lusso - 2020 (750ml)

Campo Lusso is the “Grand – Cru” of Cabernet Sauvignon by Petrolo. It’s made from the vineyard of the same name planted the 11th September of 2001. The name derives from an old expression of local farmers that have been calling the field holding this vineyard as the most beautiful of the estate, a real luxury (Campo Lusso, luxury field).
This vineyard, surrounded by woodland, is placed on a natural terracing, just below the medieval watchtower of Galatrona and has particularly good weather and soil conditions.

95 points Robert Parker

The organic Petrolo 2020 Valdarno di Sopra Cabernet Sauvignon Campo Lusso was born in a hot vintage; however, the vineyard location at the highest part of this property (at 480 meters in elevation) just under the imposing Galatrona tower is key to maintaining freshness. These vines were planted in 2001 (just half a hectare with 5,000 plants), and Campo Lusso is quickly rising to the top of the portfolio, eyeing the prized position held by the Merlot-based Galatrona. It's exciting to see where this wine will take us, especially in a more balanced growing season. This new release from 2020 is beautifully plush and rich, with accessible fruit tones of blackberry and blackcurrant. The tannins are softly integrated into the wine's full-bodied texture. Only 2,000 bottles were released. - Monica Larner March 21, 2024
