Campagnola

Intense ruby red cuvée with a fresh, fruit-driven bouquet. Notes of elderberry, red berries and wood on the palate as well as the fine Ripasso sweetness. A rarity in this attractive price range. Fine, balanced and juicy. SUPERIORE.DE

"Aromatic nose of dried red fruit, walnuts and vivid spices. Full-bodied with a mouthful of fruit, lightly chewy tannin and polished oak that blend together nicely to give a long, bright and spicy finish. Best from 2024." James Suckling

A high-class Valpolicella, fine and haunting spicy aroma with a full and fleshy fruit development of blackberries and cherries, a wonderfully pleasant bitter note in the long finish. The harmony between aroma and taste is inspiring. SUPERIORE.DE

"Plenty of black-fruit and pot-pourri aromas here. Medium- to full-bodied with good intensity and a firm tannin structure. The fruit is more like crushed blackcurrants on the palate. This finishes a bit chewy for now, but another year in bottle will even it out. Delicious fruit." James Suckling

Tenuta Missoj is a small vineyard in Mizzole with just 3.5 hectares of vines and is owned by the Campagnola family. The vineyards extend 200 metres above sea level on a well-ventilated and exposed hill where the grapes can reach perfect and complete ripeness. From these soils comes the new prestigious wine Valpolicella Ripasso "Tenuta di Missoj", which already impressively shows the typical characteristics of the appellation in the debut vintage 2019.

Intense, ruby red colour with violet reflections. Delicate, ethereal-spicy bouquet with elegant balance and aromas of jam, black cherry and plum. Dry, harmonious, with a very complex taste and soft, deep tannins. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich, ripe black plums and savory, grainy and cumin notes on the nose. Medium-bodied with the same fruity and savory character and an intense but fluid feel. Then, chewy tannins kick in and close it down for now." James Suckling

The deep garnet-red Recioto della Valpolicella releases a concentrated, sweet aroma of ripe fruit, caramel and chocolate. Its taste is dense, powerful and determined until the harmonious finish. SUPERIORE.DE

Generous, seductive and very complex bouquet of cherries, plums, spices and other aromas. The taste of the "Vigneti Vallata di Marano" impresses above all with its elegance and length. A beautiful Amarone in which power and concentration go together harmoniously. SUPERIORE.DE

Beautiful Amarone Riserva with well-proportioned aromas of ripe dark fruit and noble notes of leather, spices and sweet tobacco. Flows densely and full-bodied across the palate with remarkable depth, breadth and purity. An opulent wine that lingers long and very harmonious. SUPERIORE.DE

"A complex Amarone with black tea leaves, blackberries and stones and a hint of spicy cocoa powder. Typical Amarone generosity with taut, powdery tannins and fresh blackberries. Slightly warming finish with some bitter orange chocolate. Drink or cellar." James Suckling

"Tenuta Caterina Zardini is a winery owned by the well-known Giuseppe Campagnola, which operates autonomously within the group and obtains its grapes exclusively from the 36 ha estate in Marano. The Classico Riserva is traditionally vinified, but less traditionally aged in all-new barriques. On the nose it shows slightly smoky aromas of plums, maraschino and aromatic herbs, while on the palate it is fresh and dynamic, with very fine tannins and a long finish of sweet fruit and vanilla."

Tenuta Missoj is a small vineyard in Mizzole with just 3.5 hectares of vines and is owned by the Campagnola family. The vineyards extend at an altitude of 200 metres on a well-ventilated and exposed hill where the grapes can reach perfect and complete ripeness. The grapes for this Amarone Riserva come from single vineyards and the wine is aged for 24 months in new barriques made of Fleur de Quintessence oak in medium to lightly toasted Allier oak with very fine grain. Further ageing of the wine takes place in the bottle for another 12 months.

Deep ruby red colour with garnet reflections. Developed, fragrant, spicy bouquet with hints of ripe fruit, cherry and vanilla. Intense, soft and pervasive taste, fine tannin structure. Slight bitter almond note on the finish, typical of high-class Amarone, very long and with great potential. SUPERIORE.DE

"Dried blueberries, raspberries, citrus and tea leaves. Medium to full body, a subtle casing of foursquare tannins to surround ripe but agile berry fruit and a muscular finish. Drink from 2022." James Suckling
