Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOC 2017
The Campanola family are typical of a new generation that is establishing small, quality-focused estates in the region. They have rejuvenated ancient terraced vineyards and apply this same respect for tradition in the winery. The results are wonderful; this is a mid-weight wine of perfume, red fruit and savory nuances.

It is a full-bodied wine with full-on flavors of dried fruit such as raisins, plums and dark cherries accented with sweet kitchen spice notes. A velvety texture, gentle tannins and a long finish.
Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG 2011
Verona’s most famous red wine, Amarone, is created through drying grapes on wooden racks for several months before fermentation. This process, when managed carefully, produces wine of intense aromas, flavours and structure with hints of soft red fruits, overlaid with smoky oak finish. The estate of San Rustico has become one of the exponents of this style of wine.
Amarone Gaso D.O.C.G 2012/ 2013
The estate’s flagship wine is the Amarone della Valpoliccela Classico Gaso. Basaltic lava soils have helped to shape a focused and sharp expression of Amarone that presents its aromas of dried fruit and spice with utmost precision. The wine sees 36 months in bottle and these large casks crate the conditions for enhanced fruit nuances (as opposed to heavy oak toast). The 2006 vintage is characterized by higher dry extract and power (the alcohol reads 16%) and you get both in this wine. Its success ultimately comes from the balance and overall harmony it demonstrates on the finish.
