Campagnola (Marano di Valpolicella, Veneto)
Carlo Campagnola began making wine in the Veneto in 1886, his first of many awards for the family name being achieved for his Recioto wine in 1907 at the 2nd Verona Wine Exhibition. Four generations later, the family have 50 grape growers with some of the best sites in the district of Marano di Valpolicella, under the winemaking skills of descendant Luigi Campagnola. The wines produced under this label maintain a great respect for the local winemaking traditions. Wines carrying the Caterina Zardini name are special parcels from the best sites, dedicated to Carlo’s wife.

Recioto della Valpolicella Casotto del Merlo 2005 (Shipment late Oct)
The Armani family have a long history in this region, cultivating vines since 1607. Recently, they have added to their plantings a vineyard in Trentino (which carries the ‘io Domenico Armani’ label, showing a copy of the original signature for the land holdings in 1607) and in Friuli. All vineyards are tended to by hand, from pruning to harvesting. Each of the three regions has a state of the art winery, and care is taken to keep use of chemicals to a minimum. One of the great passions of the family has been the rediscovery of the ancient local variety Foja Tonda.
