Campo del Guardiano di Palazzone is a white wine of excellence, a superb expression of the unique terroir of Orvieto Classico Superiore. Its singularity comes from a historic vineyard, called “Campo del Guardiano” by generations of local farmers, located in the heart of the Palazzone estate. The history of the Campo del Guardiano vineyard is intertwined with that of the surrounding area. Its privileged position, exposed to the sun and protected from the winds, makes it ideal for growing the native grapes that give life to this extraordinary wine. The soil, rich in minerals and marine fossils, gives the wine a unique complexity and an unmistakable flavor. The production of Campo del Guardiano is a meticulous process that begins with the manual harvesting of the grapes, carefully selected to ensure the highest quality. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, to preserve the delicate aromas and freshness of the wine. The aging takes place in French oak barrels, where the wine acquires structure and complexity. Finally, Campo del Guardiano rests for a long time in the bottle, to reach its full maturity and develop its unique bouquet.

Campo del Guardiano has an intense straw yellow color, with golden reflections. On the nose, it offers a complex and refined bouquet, with notes of white-fleshed fruit, wild flowers, aromatic herbs and delicate spices. In the mouth, the wine is dry, mineral, with a lively acidity and an elegant structure. The finish is long and persistent, with an aftertaste of dried fruit and a light saline note. Campo del Guardiano is a versatile wine that pairs perfectly with fish dishes, shellfish, white meats and fresh cheeses. Its acidity and minerality also make it ideal for accompanying spicy dishes and exotic flavors. This extraordinary wine is a true oenological treasure, capable of exciting and surprising even the most demanding palates.
