STORY<br />
The art of winemaking of the Campagnola family has reached its fifth generation:<br />
a passion that has been handed down from father to son, since 1907. The Giuseppe<br />
Campagnola winery has its heart in Marano di Valpolicella valley, where it produces<br />
and vinifies the grapes, both from their own land and from historical suppliers, chosen<br />
in the 1950s by grandfather Luigi.<br />
Today, the Campagnola winery takes care of vineyards, selects grapes, and<br />
collaborates actively with more than 50 wine-growers in the most vocational vineyards<br />
around the valley.<br />
WINE MAKING<br />
The bunches are hand-picked and rigorously selected at the end of September.<br />
Traditional drying of the grapes lasts for about 100 days, during which the grapes lose<br />
around 40% of their weight. From these raisin-like grapes a rich and super concentrated<br />
juice is pressed.<br />
60% of the wine is refined for 24 months in big oak barrels, and 40% of the wine is<br />
refined for 18 months in new French barrels, followed by six months in the bottle.<br />
FOOD PAIRING<br />
Deep bright, ruby red wine has a powerful bouquet and intense aromas of cherry, ripe<br />
plum, toasted almond, chocolate, and vanilla. Traditionally enjoyed with game, roasted,<br />
and grilled meats, full-flavoured dishes, and well-matured cheeses. Recommended<br />
serving temperature: 17–18 °C.<br />
