About This Wine:
A complex and majestic Barolo, with an aromatic profile that ranges from rose petals to plum and black berries, leading up to white truffles and underbrush. The tannic structure is solid and harmonious, with a full and mighty finish.
Vinification
Maceration and alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled vats for an average period of 14-15 days. Malolactic fermentation done in French oak barrels, of which 20% is new and the remaining in used (2nd passage); following by an aging of minimum 18 months. Then refined in the bottle.
Ratings & Reviews:
95 Points - Jeb Dunnuck:
"The 2021 Barolo Campe Vursu is a medium matte-red hue and leads with a wonderfully mineral-inflected, saturating nose of crushed stones, dried cherry, pine, spice, and wild herbs. The palate offers full-bodied structure, balanced richness, and ripe tannins that have a more rounded feel through the mid-palate. Campe comes from the vineyard's more exposed, higher section, whereas Garretti comes from the hill's lower slopes. Usually, they (consumers) buy Garretti for its approachability. However, the 2021 wines are somewhat flipped, with Garretti offering more nervous energy, and while the Campe is still structured, with the potential for longevity, it has a more velvety and approachable texture that fleshes out with air and makes it quite appealing. Drink 2026-2046." - Audrey Frick (May 2025)
94 Points - James Suckling:
"Violets with roses as well as crushed cherries. The palate is full-bodied, currently with an imposing tannin structure that shows some bright, albeit greenish, defined fruit on the horizon. Needs some time, but should evolve into an exceptional wine.” - JS (Jan 2025)
