CHARACTERISTICS
Production Area	Veneto
Varietal	Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella
Wine Making & Aging	Selected grapes are harvested by hand, laid into small boxes and dried (appassimento) for 2-3 weeks. Then the berries are destemmed but not crushed. The alcoholic fermentation is done in steel barrels at controlled temperature below 21 degrees with two gentle daily pump overs to carefully extract the noble substances from the berries. After the maceration of about 25-30 days follows the malolactic fermentation and the aging in large oak casks of 15 hl. Subsequently, the wine is aged for a minimum of 12 months in the bottle.
Analytical Data	Alcohol 14.5% vol.
Tasting Notes	campo selce presents itself in a brilliant red somewhere between ruby and brick. The nose first catches the aroma of ripe black cherries and blackberries as well as violets, followed by a hint of dried grapes. The bouquet is replenished by the fragrance of dark fruits like black currants and plums. In addition, the scents of liquorice root and the pulp of red oranges can be detected. Finally, there are notes of white pepper, underwood, sweet tobacco and milk chocolate, all in a subtle manner. Due to its solid, not over-pronounced tannins, its good acid structure and its minerality and spiciness, which are typical of its hill top terroir with lots of flintstone, campo selce reveals a high aging potential..
Serving Recommendations	With its smooth balance of red berries and a hint of herbs, Campo Selce is an excellent match for grilled meats, pizza with fresh basil, or a charcuterie board. It also pairs wonderfully with mushroom risotto or pasta in tomato-based sauces
