The heart of the Chianti region, green rolling hills, seemingly endless spreading of vineyards and olive groves, of oak and holm-oak woods, ancient villages where the history of centuries has given strength to the finest traditions: from this sanctuary of harmony and peace we are glad to introduce you the most precious fruit of our toil: the red wines of Campomaggio.
This wine comes from a selection of the best sangiovese vines blended with a small portion of cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah from the campomaggio vineyard. After fermentation the wine is aged for 12 months in barrique, and in bottles for a further 6 months. The campomaggio red has a lively ruby red color with light garnet hues, elegant, a full bouquet with a pleasant hickory scent. The taste is dry, full-bodied with a slight initial tannin flavor which develops into a spicy taste. It is an ideal wine to accompany grilled meats, games and cheeses.
"This elegant, full-bodied blend of 85% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Shiraz offers sweet notes of strawberry and berry fruit, with flavors of leather, spice and vanilla. Supple texture and admirable finish. A great "Supertuscan." Cippi Pitschen

Main Features: Ruby red intense colour with slight burgundy hues. Scent typically of very ripe fruits and slightly toasted wood. Full, balanced taste tending to velvety with notes of ripe mussel plum and cherry, mulberry and blackberry. The feature which makes unique the Primitivo of Gioia del Colle is the toasted almond aftertaste.
Best at temperature: 18 - 20 C
Best with: Pasta with gravy, strong flavoured dishes like as meat, game, grilled fish and aged cheese. The Riserva Speciale is particularly pleasant with chocolate sweets.
Further information: The particular though unusual affinity of our red wines with spicy dishes of fish is owing to the fact that the vineyard is located in an area where originally was the sea. This assertion is confirmed by the finding of fossils during the detailed and profound excavation, which involved the breaking down of materials, to make the soil prepared for the plantation of the actual vineyard. This way to prepare the soil, in fact forms an innovative and adequate drainage system by way of fresh rain water, which allowed the land to remain subtle leading the way to richer soil and a more productive vine.
