Campo alle Comete's varietal Cabernet shows intense ruby red, ripe black cherry and blackcurrant, with anise, tobacco and the spice the grape is known for. Six months in French oak barriques and tonneaux frame silky tannins kept lively by a spicy freshness.
Intense ruby red in the glass. The nose leads with ripe black cherry and blackcurrant, lifted by anise and a cedar-and-tobacco edge that critics single out in the riper vintages. Cabernet's varietal spice runs through it rather than heavy oak.

SpicyMedium to full bodied, with the silky, gentle tannins the estate aims for kept lively by a spicy freshness. Six months in French oak barriques and tonneaux adds frame without drying the fruit, so blackcurrant and dark cherry stay in front. It reads polished rather than powerful.
The finish is clean and savoury, closing on tobacco and sweet spice rather than tannic grip.
A fruit-forward, food-friendly Bolgheri-estate Cabernet that Vivino's 498 raters score around 4.0, with the 2022 reaching the world's top 6%. Best enjoyed in its first years with grilled and braised red meat rather than kept for long cellaring.
Oltresogno is stocked by several UK merchants, with the 2024 the most widely available. Recent UK listings span roughly £15 to £23 for a standard 75cl bottle, keeping it at the value end of Bolgheri-area Cabernet.
The scores below weigh Oltresogno on food-friendliness, value, approachability and more, drawn from its Cabernet structure, sub-£25 UK pricing and early-drinking Toscana IGT profile.
Fresh tannins, dark fruit and a spicy lift make a versatile match for grilled and braised red meat and aged cheese.
At about £15 at the low end it undercuts most Bolgheri-area Cabernet, with critic backing such as James Suckling's 90 points for the 2023.
Affordable, fruit-led and food-friendly, it suits a regular weeknight red more than the cellar.
An easy, fruit-forward Cabernet with supple tannins is approachable for newcomers, though it is an international grape rather than a Tuscan native.

Both current vintages are built for relatively early drinking. The 2023 earned 90 points from James Suckling; the 2024, bottled at 14% abv, carries the estate's fresh, fruit-led style from a more even Tuscan growing season.
A more even Tuscan growing season than 2023 gave fresh, fruit-led Cabernet with supple tannins. Bottled at 14% abv and built to drink from release through the early 2030s.
A cooler, wetter Tuscan season, but the coastal Bolgheri fruit held its balance and James Suckling scored this Cabernet 90 points. Approachable now and holding to about 2030.

Campo alle Comete sits at the foot of Castagneto Carducci, with 14.5 hectares of vineyard on the Bolgheri coast, acquired in 2016 by Antonio Capaldo of Feudi di San Gregorio. Oltresogno is its varietal Cabernet Sauvignon released under the Toscana IGT designation.
Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.
Toscana is in the IGT tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.
Toscana falls within Tuscany , covering Tuscany.
Estate vineyards at Castagneto Carducci under Feudi di San Gregorio ownership carry Bolgheri-coast land and farming costs, lifting the base price above a generic Tuscan IGT.
Part-new French oak ageing for around six months, plus six more in bottle, adds barrel and cellar-time cost that a steel-only red avoids.
Hand-picking and selecting a single varietal raises labour cost versus a machine-harvested blend at this price.
Bottling under the broader Toscana IGT rather than the estate's Bolgheri DOC wines keeps it well below their price, landing around £15 to £23 in the UK.
UK excise on still wine to 15% abv is £2.67 a bottle, and 20% VAT on a roughly £18 bottle adds about £3, together a sizeable share of the shelf price.
Stocked across several UK merchants from about £15, with retailer competition holding the everyday price down.
Dishes that complement this wine
Fresh tannins and ripe dark fruit make this a classic match for char-grilled and braised red meat. It stands up to bistecca alla fiorentina, brasato and lamb ragu, and meets aged pecorino without turning austere.
Cabernet's fresh, fine tannins scrub the fat and char of a thick grilled steak, while ripe black cherry answers the seared crust. The wine's spicy lift keeps each bite feeling lighter than the meat alone.
Try with: Bistecca alla fiorentina · Tagliata · Grilled ribeye · More pairings →
Slow-braised meats bring gelatin and richness that medium to full Cabernet meets with acidity and supple tannin. Its dark-fruit core stands up to a long-cooked sauce without being buried.
Try with: Brasato al Barolo · Agnello ragu Lucano · Beef short rib · More pairings →
The wine's body and tannin carry hard, salty cheese and cured meat, while its spicy freshness cuts their fat. A board of pecorino and Tuscan salumi is an easy, regional match.
Try with: Pecorino sardo e pan carasau · Tuscan salumi · Aged pecorino · More pairings →
Rosemary and bay on roast lamb echo Cabernet's anise and tobacco notes, an aromatic bridge that makes wine and dish taste of the same table. The tannin keeps the fattier cuts fresh.
Try with: Roast lamb · Agnello ragu Lucano · Herbed pork · More pairings →
A meaty, tomato-based pasta has the acidity and savour to match Cabernet's dark fruit, while the wine's tannin handles a dusting of aged cheese on top. A weeknight match below the price of the steak version.
Try with: Pappardelle al cinghiale · Pici al ragu · Beef ragu pasta · More pairings →
Cabernet's tannin and spice amplify chilli burn and turn metallic against oily or raw fish. Sweet-sauced dishes also flatten its fruit. Keep it with savoury meat instead.

This is not a long-haul Bolgheri Superiore. Six months in oak and supple tannins point to drinking the 2023 now to about 2030 and the 2024 from 2026 to 2031, both at their best in the first years after release.
Peak around 2028. Best in the years above; holds without falling over either side.
Six months in oak and supple tannins point to drinking young; this is not a long-cellar Bolgheri Superiore.

Confidence · MediumOltresogno is a Toscana IGT red made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon by Campo alle Comete, a Bolgheri estate at the foot of Castagneto Carducci owned by Feudi di San Gregorio. It is the estate's varietal Cabernet, aged about six months in French oak.
Expect an intense ruby colour, ripe black cherry and blackcurrant with anise, tobacco and the spice typical of Cabernet. The palate is medium to full bodied with silky, gentle tannins kept fresh by a spicy lift, finishing clean rather than heavy.
Its fresh tannins and dark fruit suit grilled and braised red meat such as bistecca alla fiorentina, brasato and lamb ragu, plus aged pecorino. Vivino drinkers most often pour it with beef, lamb and cured meats.
It drinks well on release for its bright fruit and supple tannins. The 2024 will show best between 2026 and 2031, while the 2023, rated 90 points by James Suckling, is enjoyable now through about 2030.
UK listings run from about £15 to £23 across several retailers, which places it among the more affordable Cabernets from the Bolgheri area of Tuscany.
