The blend is 90% Sangiovese — locally called Morellino — with 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, fermented under controlled temperature before aging approximately 12 months in large Slovenian oak barrels. The Maremma terroir distinguishes this wine from inland Tuscan reds: clay-and-sand soils warmed by consistent sunshine receive cooling maritime breezes off the Tyrrhenian Sea, lending a subtle saline minerality that sets Campo Maccione apart from the estate's Chianti Classico bottlings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e The bouquet opens with ripe red cherry and juicy plum, followed by fine violet florals and dried Mediterranean herbs.

It is full-bodied yet smooth, with a harmonious balance between bright fruit and gentle oak influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does Campo Maccione compare to Chianti Classico?\u003c\/strong\u003e Both rely on Sangiovese and share a dry, red-fruit-driven profile, but Campo Maccione's Maremma coastal origin gives it a rounder body and softer tannins compared to the higher acidity and more austere structure typical of Chianti Classico. The 10% Cabernet Sauvignon in Campo Maccione also adds depth and mid-palate weight not usually found in traditional Chianti blends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Campo Maccione good for everyday drinking?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — it sits in a quality tier that rewards attention at the dinner table without demanding a special occasion, making it an excellent daily Tuscan red for anyone who appreciates well-made Sangiovese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is Campo Maccione made?\u003c\/strong\u003e Campo Maccione is produced at the Campomaccione estate owned by Rocca delle Macìe, located near Grosseto in the Maremma zone of southern Tuscany, Italy.

Slow-braised beef ragu mirrors its full body and dark fruit. Aged pecorino Toscano echoes the wine's savory, earthy side. Margherita pizza or eggplant parmigiana match the bright cherry acidity. Cured salumi like finocchiona complements the spice and soft tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat sizes does Campo Maccione come in?\u003c\/strong\u003e Campo Maccione Morellino di Scansano is widely available in the standard 750ml bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Campo Maccione worth the price?\u003c\/strong\u003e Campo Maccione positions as an accessible, mid-range Tuscan red that consistently over-delivers for its tier. A 90-point James Suckling score on the 2023 vintage underscores strong value among DOCG-level Italian wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eWhy Campo Maccione?\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMorellino di Scansano remains one of Tuscany's most underappreciated appellations, and Campo Maccione is its benchmark bottling. Twelve months in large Slovenian oak preserves varietal purity rather than masking it, allowing the Maremma's unique maritime terroir — that interplay of coastal air, warm clay soils, and persistent sun — to define the glass. The Zingarelli family has produced this wine across decades of vintages with notable consistency, earning repeated critical recognition. For anyone looking beyond the well-trodden Chianti corridor, Campo Maccione provides a compelling, estate-grown entry point into coastal Tuscan Sangiovese.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Campo Maccione","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44836842864809,"sku":"23882","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}]}],"url":"https:\/\/theliquorbarn.com\/collections\/campo-maccione.oembed","provider":"The Liquor Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
