Description

Located in Riomaggiore, one of the 5 terre of La Spezia, stands the Campogrande winery that has become over the years now a great beacon of Ligurian oenology within one of the region’s most striking landscapes. Founded in 2005 by the famous Barolo producer Elio Altare together with Ligurian partner Antonio Bonanni, it is a real challenge to nature with the recovery of some old vineyards of local varieties such as Bosco, Albarola, Vermentino and Bonamico directly perched on the cliffs with steep slopes overlooking the sea. A 2-hectare property arranged on several terraces where it is impossible to use any kind of mechanization except the use of rails along the vineyards to transport the grapes, while all the rest of the work is done by hand. The philosophy adopted is in the total expression of the terroir, natural treatments, division of the plots, selection and specific harvesting of the bunches according to the wine increasing the quality later in the cellar with precise and clean refinement through steel tanks for the whites or oak barrels for the reds and passiti. This is not simple viticulture here, this is one of the many unnoticed heroic expressions of wine Liguria.
