Campo Sireso · Rosso Alto Mincio IGT 2019

  Ottella's “Campo Sireso” Rosso Alto Mincio is an expressive red wine cuvée that elegantly reflects the diversity of northern Italy's terroir. It combines international grape varieties such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon with native varieties such as Corvina, Molinara, and Rondinella—a blend that lends both structure and regional authenticity. Grown in vineyards on the morainic hills of Alto Mincio, the grapes benefit from limestone- and clay-rich soils and cool altitudes, giving the wine a distinctive minerality and depth of origin. After hand harvesting, the wine undergoes extended aging in barriques, allowing its depth, complex aromas, and elegance to develop superbly.

In the glass, “Campo Sireso” displays a deep ruby red color with garnet reflections—a visual indication of its concentration and maturity. The nose opens with dense berry fruit, including ripe cherries and wild berries, complemented by subtle vanilla and spice notes from the wood aging. On the palate, it unfolds with a velvety texture, finely distributed tannins, and a harmonious balance between fruit and spice. The long finish underscores the finesse of this wine, making it the ideal accompaniment to grilled meats, braised game, or aged cheeses. - Gerardo [TS10/20]
