A delicious wine from the Alois family, who for centuries have produced world famous textiles that grace the walls of such places as the Louvre and the White House, and since 1992, have been producing great wines from little-known varietals. With the help of oenologist Riccardo Cotarella and agronomist Nicola Traducca, Alois uses "green" farming methods to vinify four varieties of wine on their 14 hectare estate in Campania (the shin of the Italian boot). Campole contains 70% Aglianico and 30% Casavecchia. The softness of the Casavecchia grape cools the power of the Aglianico. The wine has a beautiful dark color and a nose of licorice and dark fruit. The wine is aged entirely in stainless steel so the fruit is not masked. The wine is well-structured and has a long, smooth finish.
