Camporomano 2013 - La Stoppa

Camporomano - La Stoppa

Campomarano by Stoppa is a structured, intense and compact red wine. Spontaneous fermentation and maceration on the skins for 40 days in stainless steel and cement vats, and aging for one year in used French oak barrels, and for two years in bottle. With a concentrated, soft and enveloping mouth, a wine that remains taut and easy to drink thanks to the characteristic acidity of Barbera. Persistent, it leaves the mouth clean by inviting her to try a second glass. A wine to share with friends over a boiled meat with the inevitable green bath. In vintages prior to 2011, the wine is called "Barbera della Stoppa".

Service

We taste it at a 16/18 ° temperature in tulip goblets. Wine to drink immediately but leave to rest in the cellar for a few years can give great satisfaction.

Pairings

Wine ideal for first courses with meat sauce, to be tried with a cut of beef with baked potatoes.

Cellar: La Stoppa

Stoppa is on the slopes of the Tumulus valley, in the province of Piacenza, near the Trebbia river. Historical company was founded more than a hundred years ago by lawyer Ageno, an exuberant and charismatic character who started planting French vineyards and gave curious name wines; Pinò, Bordò and Bordò Bianco. In 1973 the Pantaleone family acquired the property and in a short time put the vineyards and the cellar. Today, the company is led by Elena Pantaleoni who, with the valuable help of Giulio Armani, cultivates about 30 hectares of vineyards planted in Barbera, Malvasia of Candia Aromatica, Bonarda, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Semillon. Elena immediately decided to convert the methods of vineyard processing according to biological practices and respect for nature, which is facilitated by the low natural yields given by both its old vineyards and poor soil, which results in products already born In a vineyard that does not need excessive work in the cellar. La Stoppa's wines are authentic, true, natural wines that reflect Elena's words: "The task of man is to understand the territory in which he lives, enhancing the specific expressions and manifestations of the fruits of nature."
