Campo all'Upupa is Campastrello I Socci's Bolgheri Rosso DOC, a blend of roughly 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 15% Sangiovese from the estate's plain-side vineyards in Castagneto Carducci. After fermentation in stainless steel, the wine rests in barrique for at least eight months and a further two months in bottle before release. It shows aromas of Mediterranean scrub, aromatic herbs and thyme, with a lively character, gentle tannins and a garrigue-scented finish.
The everyday face of Bolgheri — herby, garrigue-scented and honest, without chasing the power of its Superiore sibling.
