Description
The Campanaro Campania white IGT wine is an excellent product from the Feudi di San Gregorio winery, located in the Campania region in southern Italy. This area is renowned for its rich winemaking history and the quality of its wines, thanks to fertile volcanic soil and an ideal Mediterranean climate for grape cultivation. Campanaro is a white wine obtained from a blend of two native grape varieties: Fiano di Avellino and Greco di Tufo. These grapes are grown in vineyards located on the hills of Sorbo Serpico, a territory characterized by clay and limestone soils, with southeast exposure and an altitude of about 350 meters above sea level. The production process of Campanaro begins with the manual harvest of the grapes, which takes place between the end of September and the beginning of October. The grapes are then subjected to a gentle pressing and fermentation occurs in French oak barriques at a controlled temperature. The wine is then aged in barriques for about 6 months, followed by further aging in the bottle for at least 6 months before commercialization. The result is a white wine of great structure and complexity, with an aromatic bouquet ranging from tropical fruits to floral notes, with hints of vanilla and toastiness derived from wood aging. On the palate, Campanaro is balanced, fresh, and persistent, with a beautiful minerality that reflects its terroir of origin. Regarding food pairings, Campanaro pairs perfectly with dishes based on fish, shellfish, and mollusks, but also with white meats and aged cheeses. Pairings: The Campanaro Campania white IGT Feudi di San Gregorio wine is a structured and complex white wine that pairs perfectly with rich and flavorful fish dishes. An excellent choice could be a seafood risotto, where the richness of the wine can balance the savoriness of the seafood. Another interesting pairing could be with a baked fish dish, such as sea bass or bream, seasoned with aromatic herbs and lemon. The wine will have the structure to support the flavor of the fish, while its acidity will perfectly complement the taste of the lemon. As for cheeses, Campanaro pairs well with hard and aged cheeses, such as Parmigiano Reggiano or Pecorino. Their texture and intense flavor marry well with the structure and complexity of this wine. Finally, for a slightly bolder pairing, you might try Campanaro with a curry chicken dish.
