Description :
"Giuseppe Campagnola never misses the mark. The leading wines in his substantial range are always among the best found in Valpolicella. This is due to the technical ability of his winery staff as well as long-standing close relationship with the land and with his neighbours. Almost all the grapes come from the Marano valley, which is also where his family comes from. This is perhaps the area of Valpolicella that expresses best the grape's subtle, vibrant aromas with a slim, never intrusive structure, even when the grapes are partially dried."

"For years Beppe Campagnola has been working hard to create a line of wines worthy of Verona's great winemaking traditions. He has created a cellars where he can work in peace, dedicating care, space and attention to each phase of the grape-processing cycle. He has finally achieved the results he has been pursuing for years. And this is not limited to the positive acclaim from our Guidebook. Rather it is his awareness of having produced a line of exceptional wines, a wine that is probably best represented, in this new direction, by his Soave. This wine is not a Valpolicella tradition. On the contrary it is perhaps a popular rival. And, finally, Caterina Zardini Amarone, proposed with the proper refinement, generous and bewitching: cherries, plums, pressed flowers, spices, these are just a few of the aromas that compose its strong and articulated bouquet. And a surprise to the palate for its elegance and duration."
