Camparo Dolcetto di Diano d'Alba Sorì Bric del Camparo, an excellent food wine with Dolcetto being the wine of choice for the locals of the region. Sorì means a vineyard with the best exposure to the sun in the local Piedmontese dialect.  Dry, fresh, fruity, it expresses the typicality of the Arenarie di Diano, typical terrain found in the municipality where this wine is born, it is a chalky-clayey soil with a good presence of sand that gives the wines particular elegance.  Dolcetto represents the history of this territory, the history of the farmers and has always been the meal wine par excellence. For years, in fact, it was sold with an even higher value than Nebbiolo. Today this wine is produced from the oldest vineyard on the estate and the aim is to show the glorious expression of the vintage from the vineyard to the glass.

About the Producer

It all began in the cool summer of 1980, when Mauro decided to make wine from the grapes of the few vineyards around the winery, left to him by his father. 

In 1995 he took an important step forward by acquiring a vineyard of Nebbiolo da Barolo in the municipality of Grinzane Cavour. Just 5 years later became part of an even bigger and more special family: that of organic certification. Thanks to the effort of those years he was able to give a greater value to what his father had built but which now belonged to the past: completely eliminating treatments that are harmful to the planet and to our health. Today, beautiful colourful flowers grow among the vines and there are plenty of pollinating insects.
