This typical Samnite vine variety holds a special place in our production. Our Barbera (Camaiola) is the best partner on special convivial occasions,  ut can also be best appreciated alone. Grapes come from a special and dedicated lot of our farm in Benevento, few minutes far from Pietrelcina. This Vineyard, like the whole of our farm, is grown with environmentally-friendly
techniques. Vinification by gentle racking and soft crushing of the grapes, alcoholic fermentation of the must in stainless steel containers; secondary fermentation on skins for 8/10 days. Finally: racking, settling, and decanting.
Malolactic fermentation is in terracotta amphorae, retrieving an ancient Roman technique.
Aging and Refining is in amphorae for 8 months; it is bottled in springtime.

At the sight, it shows brilliant intense red tones with violet glares.
The aroma offers a violet, black pepper, and orange scent, with a final strawberry fragrance.
About the flavor, It is highly appreciated for its unique juiciness and roundness; its tannic pattern is surprisingly gentle and elegant, thanks to the refining in terracotta amphorae.
