Questo Vino Resiste, Campi Valerio

We love a wine with a story, and this blend from Campi Valerio delivers that in spades. As Italy’s youngest region Molise is often overlooked by other Italian regions. In fact, a common Italian joke is Il Molise non esiste or that Molise doesn’t exist. This wine looks to fight that perception.

This limited-edition wine was produced in a batch of 1963 bottles, each individually numbered. 1963 being the year that Molise gained its independence as a region. Including a blend of Montepulciano, which is one of the most popular grapes of Molise and Tintilia, the native grape of Molise, this wine is the perfect mix of old and new. With flavours of forest berries and fruits, a rounded easy to drink palate and a full-body it’s a great wine to pair with some of Molise’s other typical food dishes such as wild boar.

From the region that doesn’t exist comes a wine that resists.
