Campogrande Cinqueterre 8 Items

To make wine in these rocky hills is a challenge for Elio Altare, the renowned Barolo winemaker, and Antonio Bonanni, who grew up near the vineyards of the Cinque Terre. Together they want to contribute to the rebirth of this extraordinary terroir.

Antonio Bonanni‘s parents and grandparents used to made wine as many families in the Cinque Terre did since hundreds of years. They taught him how to cure the vines on the rocky soil. After years of travelling around the world he decided to come back to his village to continue the work of his familiy and restore the vineyards of his forefathers. He has a particular experience in the art of constructing the dry stone walls and the terraces where the vines are cultivated.

Elio Altare is a leader of the revolutionary changes in wine-making in the Barolo zone. But despite his success he remained connected to the rural tradition and he is proud to look personally after his vineyards and the wine in the cellar. This is one of the reasons why he strictly limits the number of bottles. In addition to his red wines in Piedmont he has now a white wine and a sweet wine in his portfolio. He has chosen the small region of the Cinque Terre where the wine was famous since many hundred years, to understand the potential of this great forgotten terroir.
