Arnione
アルニオーネ
Campo alla Sughera
Cabernet Sauvignon · Merlot · Cabernet Franc · Petit Verdot
About this wine
Campo alla Sughera's flagship Bolgheri Superiore DOC, produced only from the estate's best plots, harvested and vinified separately parcel by parcel. A Bordeaux-style blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, it shows deep aromatic complexity — balsamic eucalyptus, bitter orange, black cherry and Mediterranean scrub — with a dense, structured palate of ripe black plum, mocha and vanilla wrapped in polished tannins. It matures in French oak barriques and tonneaux before further refinement in bottle.
Bolgheri's benchmark Bordeaux-style red — a great first bottle if you want to understand why Super Tuscans command attention.
Sommelier's Note
"Arnione is the wine that proves Bolgheri doesn't need Sassicaia's price tag to deliver Sassicaia-level ambition — plot-by-plot precision you can taste in every glass."
Food Pairings
A structured wine that calls for equally structured food: Fiorentina steak, grilled lamb chops, or well-aged pecorino toscano.
When to drink it
Special dinners, steak nights, cellar-worthy gifts for wine collectors.

RedCabernet Sauvignon · Merlot
Campo alla Sughera's Bolgheri Rosso DOC, a more immediate and approachable expression of the estate built from hand-harvested Cabernet Sauvignon (about 60%) and Merlot (about 40%). Bright ruby red in color, it opens with herbaceous notes, black fruit and black cherry, moving to plum, ripe fruit, spice and light toasting from wood aging, finishing with balanced tannins and a touch of licorice.
アリオーゾ
Arioso
WhiteVermentino
A 100% Vermentino vinified in stainless steel, Arioso captures the sand and sea breeze of the Tuscan coast. Brilliant straw yellow with greenish reflections, it offers clear, intense aromas of citrus, flowers, wild herbs, green apple and summer pear. Full-bodied with excellent acidity, it is savory, lively and persistent, finishing with a mineral, saline character.

RedPetit Verdot · Cabernet Franc
The estate's eponymous Toscana Rosso IGT is a rare, best-vintage-only bottling built primarily from Petit Verdot with a portion of Cabernet Franc, sourced from vineyards in Castagneto Carducci at the heart of Bolgheri's terroir. Ruby red with garnet reflections, it shows a balsamic-tinged nose of ripe black fruit, pepper and hay, with a soft entry, velvety tannins and a fragrant profile of juicy cherry, blood orange, watermelon, cardamom and cigar box. It is aged in barriques for around 24 months, followed by extended bottle aging.

RedCabernet Franc · Cabernet Sauvignon · Merlot
A limited-edition project born in 2016 to honor the estate's flagship Arnione by isolating and bottling a single variety from the parcels dedicated to that blend in purity. Composition has varied by vintage — the 2020 release is 100% Cabernet Franc, while earlier vintages combined Cabernet Sauvignon with a smaller share of Merlot. Robust yet elegant, it offers complex dark fruit, spice and mineral character balanced by fine tannins and a long finish. Produced only in the best vintages in a strictly limited run (around 1,000-1,500 numbered bottles) and sold primarily at the winery.
