SHIP’S WINE<br />

CAMPO PIETRA<br />

APPASSITE ORGANIC<br />

Full bodied, round and lucious with soft and<br />

balanced tannins.<br />

ORIGIN: Southern Italy<br />

GRAPES: Primitivo, Negroamaro<br />

STORY<br />

The wine is produced in the southern part of<br />

Italy where the climate is steadily influenced<br />

by the presence and the proximity of the sea<br />

that makes it typically Mediterranean with its<br />

dry summers and temperate winters.<br />

The region isn’t very geologically complex – the<br />

soil is mainly consituted by limestone and clay.<br />

This type of ancient viticulture is mostly<br />

practised in Southern Italy and often preserves<br />

the traditional “alberello” training method for<br />

wines.<br />

WINE MAKING<br />

Campo Pietra is produced from dried grapes.<br />

The selected bunches have to dry inside the<br />

same baskets where they have been harvested<br />

during the first half of September. The drying<br />

period lasts <strong>until</strong> the grapes lose 50% of their<br />

weight.<br />

FOOD PAIRING<br />

The wine has a deeply bright red colour<br />

showing delicate purple hues in the glass.<br />

The complex aromas of blackberry, spirited<br />

cherries and plum jam fill the palate,<br />

while hints of elegant spices linger in the<br />

background. A warm and round mouthfeel with<br />

balanced tannins makes it suitable for creamy<br />

risotto with cheese and butter, grilled beef and<br />

mature cheeses.<br />

Serving temperature 16–18 °C<br />
