"Marina Marcarino energetically manages this estate following organic viticultural practises. The Campo Quadro Riserva is complex and multifaceted, with minty and balsamic notes along with camphor, a slightly foxy character and cedar wood.

Bottled in 2019, the wine stands apart thanks to a hot and dry growing season that Bruna Giacosa is very excited about. In fact, she prefers 2017 to 2015, although the two vintages do share similarities. This wine is very...
