Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Made from 50% Merlot and 50% Sangiovese grown in varied estate vineyards in the Panicale area of Umbria. The grapes were harvested in September and October and vinified in tank. After fermentation, the wine was aged in Nevers and Allier barrels for 12 months.

Campoleone is deep purple in color with intense aromas of wild berries. It explodes on the palate with loads of fruit, big structure and lots of fine tannins that insure the wine's aging potential. Despite its structure, the wine exhibits the signature soft touch of Riccardo Cotarella.

Italian Red Wine

While picturesque hillsides, endless coastlines and a favorable climate serve to unify the grape-growing culture of this country. The apparent never-ending world of indigenous grape varieties gives Italy an unexampled charm and allure for its red wines. From the steep inclines of the Alps to the sprawling, warm, coastal plains of the south, red grape varieties thrive throughout.

The kings of Italy, wines like Barolo and Barbaresco (made of Nebbiolo), and Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino (made of Sangiovese), as well as Amarone (mostly Corvina), play center stage for the most lauded, collected and cellar-worthy reds. Less popular but entirely deserving of as much praise are the wines made from Aglianico, Sagrantino and Nerello Mascalese.

For those accustomed to drinking New World reds, the south is the place to start. Grapes like Negroamaro or Primitvo from Puglia and Nero d’Avola from Sicily make soft, ammicable, full-bodied, fruit-dominant wines. Curious palates should be on the lookout for Cannonau (Grenache), Lagrein, Teroldego, Ruché, Freisa, Cesanese, Schiopettino, Rossese and Gaglioppo to name a few.
