Reviews and Ratings

Sasa rated this wine as 90/100
Campolieti means “happy fields,” an appropriate name considering the high quality of the grapes used in this wine. Only happy vines could produce wines this good. Look for aromas and flavours or rich plum, black berry, a hint of fig and dark chocolate. Righetti’s ripe, rich and fruity Campolieti Ripasso is delicious with lamb or beef dishes.
