Cinqueterre doc Campogrande 2019

The Cinqueterre of Campogrande is a very expressive white wine that comes from a blend of native Ligurian vines. This wine is one of the last challenges of Elio Altare, a famous Piedmontese producer, and it is made with grapes grown in the vineyard "Campogrande", arranged at several levels on the typical Ligurian terraces. The Cinqueterre Campogrande shows a beautiful straw yellow color tending to golden while in the nose it develops intense and stratified aromas, with aromas of Mediterranean maquis that alternate with mineral and fruity nuances. The palate is medium-bodied, pleasant and satisfying, with a good flavor and freshness. The Cinqueterre of Campogrande goes perfectly with grilled fish, pasta with fish sauce, vegetables and seafood risotto.

Campogrande was established by Elio Altare, famous Barolo winemaker in La Morra, with his friend Antonio Bonanni, wine producer in Cinque Terre territory. The winery counts 2 hectares only, but over the years it has become more and more famous, now considered as one of the most significant examples of heroic viticulture. Here, grapes and wines are strong and complex, thanks to the limited production and the extraordinary influence of the sea, gifting the wine with salty and sapid scents.
