ABOUT THIS WINE
Occhione Vermentino Campo di Sasso 2022 is a white wine from the Toscana IGT appellation in Tuscany, Italy. Produced by Campo di Sasso, part of the Antinori family's wine interests, the wine is primarily made from Vermentino with a touch of Viognier. The vineyards are situated in Bibbona, west of Bolgheri, on sandy alluvial soils influenced by the nearby sea. The wine's name, 'Occhione,' meaning Eurasian stone-curlew, is inspired by a rare bird that nests in the coastal dunes, highlighting the wine's rarity and its connection to the estate's natural environment. The 2022 vintage experienced a hot and dry season, with late rains aiding grape development.
