Tasting notes
Rare powerful dry red wine. Deep ruby red color with cherry heart and slow thick tears. Lush nose of wild plum, leather, undergrowth and licorice. Harmonious texture with fused acid/tannin balance, velvety and mouth-filling; perfectly integrated alcohol with a long, broad finish. This richly ripe wine calls for complex meat dishes such as matured beef and especially hair game, gratin of root vegetables and grilled stuffed pointed pepper. Serving temperature: 16°C. Best from carafe.
Wine Story
Campi Valerio was founded in 2004. Although it is a relatively young winery, the vineyards themselves were planted as early as the 17th century by Prince Giovanni Pignatelli, a Neapolitan nobleman who lived in Monteroduni in Molise.Since its founding, Campi Valerio has continued to expand its estates. It grew from one vineyard to the five it owns today, allowing them to produce increasingly diverse and complex wines.Despite this rapid growth, Campi Valerio has remained true to their philosophy of producing wines that represent the terroir and promote the region's indigenous grapes. At the same time, they have managed to combine this respect for the old with new techniques to create some truly exciting and unique wines.
