A wine to fall in love with, Campo Inferi Riserva is packed tight with dark chocolate, cherry liqueur, blackberry, spice, candied butterscotch and tobacco. However, it’s the soft, plush and firm nature of the mouthfeel that really sets it apart. Stylistically, it represents a unique crossover between Valpolicella and Bordeaux.

Campo Inferi Riserva Amarone opens with very sweet and beautiful tones of red fruit candy, raspberry jam, nutmeg and cinnamon. It offers more rich sweet fruit flavors in the mouth and would pair perfectly with honey baked ham with cloves.

A very dusty, dry expression of Brunello, with tones of crushed stone and talcum powder. It’s nice when a wine adds that mineral touch at the back of red fruit and spice, as it gives the bouquet firmness and backbone. Cherry, blackberry, cola and rum cake are all there. The mouthfeel is structured, dry and compact.

Campo del Tìtari Riserva is an incredibly intense and meaty wine with ripe berry notes, barbecue smoke and exotic spice. You’ll also get some chalky, mineral notes at the back and the wine is velvety in the mouth with drying tannins.

With 75% Corvina Veronese, 15% Rondinella and 10% Sangiovese, this Amarone stands out thanks to its dramatically different aromatic profile. The Sangiovese component must be responsible for the wild strawberry, cherry candy, pressed blue flowers and white licorice. It’s fresh too, with a sweet, but crisp close.
