Campanaio
Though Campanaio (a blend of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon) is made from grapes less familiar to the Chianti area, it is nonetheless the result of scrupulous attention starting with the selection of the plants themselves. Searching out superior rootstocks and clones for this project became a passion for owner Alessandro Cellai. His choices have resulted in a wine of considerable personality, which fully shows the characteristics of the grape varieties, without disguising the positive aspects of the local “terroir”.
Tasting Notes
Campanaio is a very dark ruby color, with an intense, fruity aroma. On the palate, Campanaio is rich with a long lasting flavor.
Food Pairing
It is ideal with red meat and aged cheeses.
