Campo alle Comete
A Bolgheri Rosso DOC from Campo alle Comete, the Feudi di San Gregorio estate at Castagneto Carducci. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, a year in French oak: ripe plum, cocoa and balsamic herbs, soft tannins, a fresh savoury finish.
Plum, black cherry and cocoa over a balsamic, eucalyptus lift, built from Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah aged a year in French oak.
From Campo alle Comete's vineyards at Castagneto Carducci, the 2024 leads with ripe plum and black cherry, then a lift of cocoa and the balsamic eucalyptus the estate ties to the local macchia mediterranea. Vivino's near-6,000 drinkers reach for the same words: plum, blackberry and cocoa lead their notes.

CocoaTwelve months in French oak barrique and tonneau frame soft, supple tannins around a 14.5% core of dark fruit. The cool 2024 nights show in a fresh, savoury line that stops the richness turning heavy: Merlot lends the flesh, Cabernet Sauvignon the spine and Syrah a peppery edge.
Medium-long and savoury, the year in French oak showing as cocoa and tobacco over a balsamic, eucalyptus freshness rather than heavy toast.
An accessible, fruit-forward Bolgheri Rosso DOC, the estate's everyday-into-weekend red below its Superiore Torre alle Comete. Best from 2026 to 2032; Vivino's near-6,000 drinkers rate it 4.0 and flag strong value, which UK shelf prices near £23 back up.
Three UK merchants list the 2024, from about £23 to £32 a bottle. Stock shifts, so the live table below is the current picture.
Strong on food and value, modest on cellaring: a versatile, well-priced Bolgheri red rather than a long-haul collectible.
Soft but present tannin, savoury depth and fresh 2024 acidity make this a natural food red across grilled meat, ragu and aged cheese.
At about £23 in the UK with Vivino 4.0 from nearly 6,000 ratings and a vino.com Best Buy tag, it over-delivers for an estate Bolgheri DOC.
A fruit-forward, soft-tannin international blend from a famous appellation: easy to enjoy without needing cellar knowledge.
The Bolgheri name and Feudi di San Gregorio pedigree dress it up, though the entry Rosso sits below true special-occasion bottlings.

A cool, wet spring then a warm, dry summer with cool nights gave the Tuscan coast a fresh, balanced 2024 with acidity intact.
On the Tuscan coast, 2024 brought a cool, wet spring and a warm, dry summer that kept disease at bay, with cool nights preserving acidity for a fresh, balanced Bolgheri red to enjoy over its first six to seven years.

The Capaldo family's Feudi di San Gregorio owns this Bolgheri estate. Stupore is its Bolgheri Rosso DOC, sitting below the Superiore Torre alle Comete.
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.
Bolgheri is in the DOC tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.
Bolgheri falls within Tuscany , covering Tuscany.
Estate-grown Merlot, Cabernet and Syrah from Sughericcio, hand-picked and vinified variety by variety, costs more than bought-in negoce fruit.
A year in new and used French oak, then six-plus months in bottle, ties up barrels and cellar space and lifts the price over unoaked Tuscan reds.
Bolgheri's Super-Tuscan reputation and the Feudi di San Gregorio group behind the estate carry a premium over generic Toscana IGT.
UK duty of £2.67 a bottle plus 20% VAT account for roughly £6 of the near-£23 UK shelf price before the retailer's own margin.
Stupore is the earlier-drinking Bolgheri Rosso, priced well under the estate's £59 Superiore Torre alle Comete, which keeps it near £23.
Sold on release rather than held back for years, the 2024 carries little of the financing and storage cost that ages-before-release wines pass on.
Dishes that complement this wine
Soft tannins and a savoury 14.5% frame take grilled red meat, slow-braised beef and salty aged pecorino in their stride.
The Cabernet-and-Syrah backbone and 14.5% weight cut through the charred fat of a bistecca, while soft tannins keep it from drying the meat. Bolgheri reds were built for the grill.
Try with: Fiorentina steak · grilled ribeye · tagliata · lamb cutlets · More pairings →
A year in French oak gives a savoury, medium-full body that matches the richness of brasato and peposo. The fresh 2024 acidity lifts long-simmered sauce so the dish does not feel heavy.
Try with: Brasato al Barolo · peposo · beef short rib · oxtail · More pairings →
The wine's balsamic, eucalyptus note bridges rosemary and the herbs of a roast, while its plum fruit answers a slow tomato ragu. A classic Tuscan match.
Try with: Agnello Ragu Lucano · pappardelle al ragu · rosemary roast lamb · sausage ragu · More pairings →
Ripe dark fruit and soft tannin balance the salt and crystalline bite of aged pecorino, and the savoury finish carries finocchiona and prosciutto. A board-and-bottle pairing.
Try with: Pecorino sardo e pan carasau · aged pecorino · finocchiona · prosciutto · More pairings →
Protein and a little fat soften the Cabernet and Syrah tannin, so a breaded cotoletta or a roast sits comfortably with the wine rather than fighting it.
Try with: Cotoletta alla bolognese · veal Milanese · roast beef · porchetta · More pairings →
The 14.5% alcohol and firm Cabernet tannin amplify chilli burn, turning spicy dishes harsh. The same oak and tannin flatten delicate raw fish, which has nothing to push back with.
Skip with: vindaloo · Szechuan chilli beef · sushi · ceviche · Pairing guide →
An early-drinking Bolgheri Rosso: open from 2026 and enjoy through about 2032 rather than laying it down for the long haul.
Peak around 2028. Best in the years above; holds without falling over either side.
A short splash decant softens the first-pour edge and opens the aromatics.
Bolgheri Rosso, not Superiore: twelve months oak and supple tannins point to drinking by about 2032 rather than long ageing.
£22.66 is the lowest tracked offer for the current vintage and we have no signal of further discounting.
