Camparo DOCG Barolo Boiolo

Often referred to as the source of the ‘wine of kings and the king of wines’, the Italian DOCG region of Barolo in Piedmont is known for some of the most longest-lived and collectible reds worldwide. 100% organic Nebbiolo from La Morra and hand-harvested in October, followed by special vinification for maximum fruit and aroma extraction. This is a super soft and smooth organic Barolo that’s pale garnet in colour with delicious notes of coffee, leather and red berries.

Camparo di Mauro Drocco all began in the summer of 1980, when Mauro decided to make wine from a few vineyards left to him by his father just east of the town of Barolo itself in Piedmont, Italy. He remembers playing in the rows as a child, and for their father the idea of poisoning the earth, which was and is our home, was inconceivable. Mauro started to build the Camparo estate slowly, not liking the conventional winemaking methods everyone around him was using. He experimented with more ecological and organic techniques, and in 2000 Camparo di Mauro Drocco was one of the first estates in the area to receive its organic certification. Their family-run estate consists of prized south and south-east facing gentle slopes, crucial for the famously slow ripening Nebbiolo. They follow the mantra that great wine always starts in the vineyard. In the cellar the wines are also made in a very traditional sense, with slow, natural fermentation lasting up to four weeks, and élevage in large neutral oak barrels, followed by extended bottle-ageing before release.
