The name of the label, CampoRe, is inspired by the Campore di Lapio district, where our vineyard is located. The play on words that evokes the propensity for viticulture in this blessed countryside, so much so that it could have been the countryside of a king, was intended. Steep and ventilated hills and soils of volcanic origin, these are the perfect conditions for the maturation of Aglianico, a particularly late grape variety. Long-aging, Taurasi Riserva has incredible complexity, many nuances and an extremely fine tannin, which makes the sip of CampoRe a mystical experience, albeit elegantly austere.

THE WINE:
Intense ruby red in color with garnet reflections, it offers a broad and complex bouquet on the nose, intense, with notes of cherry, berries, spicy hints of violet, tobacco and mineral notes. Full and austere, velvety and rightly tannic, on the palate it is characterized by notes of plum, black cherry and black pepper. The notable structure makes it particularly long-lived.
REFINEMENT AND VINIFICATION:
The grapes, meticulously selected only in the most favorable years, are subjected to maceration at a controlled temperature of 28°C for a minimum of 12-15 days. Matured in small French oak barrels for 30 months, it refines in the bottle for at least 3-4 years.
FOOD PAIRINGS:
