vestini campagnano

PRODUCER: VESTINI CAMPAGNANO
REGION: CAMPANIA
DESCRIPTION: In the region between Castel Campagnano and the Conca della Campania, an area where great
wines have been made since Roman times, then, still part of the Falernum, the Barletta family has developed their
passion for historical grape varieties. Being the first winery to develop research on the almost extinct Pallagrello,
red and white, and Casavecchia clones, make theirs the most unique project from the Campania region. The arrival
of enologist Paolo Caciorgna lends the finishing touches and great elegance to the wines made here!
HISTORY: The Vestini Campagnano project began in 1990 with garage style research and only a few vines
growing in the backyard. Stimulated by the idea that Pallagrello once belonged to the noblest varieties of Europe,
held in high esteem by the Bourbon kings, enabled the estate to enlist Luigi Moio as their scientific support. By
2000, Vestini Campagnano had planted vineyards based on the original viticultural material discovered here and
was producing 6,000 liters of wine divided between Pallagrello Bianco and Rosso, and Casavecchia (Rosso), all Terre
al Volturno IGT. Today owner Alberto Barletta has been joined by his sons, Amedeo & Luigi, as managers of this
unique estate.
