The Story

This vineyard is located on the “Rivoli” hill-top area, at 320 meters above sea level, in the commune of Alba. It has a calcareous soil and south-west exposure. The harvest of grapes is usually done between 20th of September and 5th of October, with a yield of 6 tons per hectare. It takes place in French oak barrels, 30% of which are new, for 18 months.
After bottling, refinement of wine lasts for about 10 months inside the cellar.

The Taste

Campii Raudii is a deep ruby red coloured wine with purple reflections. It is characterized on the nose by intriguing scents of red fruits and spices. A wide, warm and full-bodied wine in the mouth, with a smooth and well-balanced taste. Its taste is characterized by a typical good acidity originated from Barbera grapes.

Food Pairing

Red or white beef courses and with game, either grilled or roasted. The pairing with mature and “blue” cheeses is wonderful. Campii Raudii is suitable for a long ageing, in fact it tastes good up to 10 years after the  vintage. The best drinking temperature is about 18°C, served in large glasses.
