{"product_id":"amarone-campo-marna-cinquecento","title":"Amarone Campo Marna Cinquecento 2006","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmarone Campo Marna Cinquecento 2006 is the flagship Amarone from I Campi, a powerful yet finely etched expression of high‑altitude Valpolicella. Sourced from lofty vineyards at around 550 meters, this wine marries the richness of the traditional Amarone style with an uncommon freshness and lift. Crafted primarily from Corvina and Corvinone, with Croatina and Oseleta adding depth and structure, it stands as an iconic, long‑lived red from the hills of Veneto.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, Amarone Campo Marna Cinquecento 2006 shows a deep, concentrated ruby hue that borders on inky garnet, hinting at both its age and intensity. The nose is immediately expressive and layered, with aromas of ripe raspberry, wild strawberry, and redcurrant interwoven with darker cherry notes, a gentle spiciness, and subtle hints of dried flowers and underbrush as the wine evolves in the glass.\n\nOn the palate, it is full‑bodied and enveloping, yet finely balanced by its high‑altitude freshness. The core of red berry fruit—raspberry, woodland strawberry and currant—is complemented by sweet‑spiced cherry, a touch of cocoa and savory herbal nuances. The tannins are firm but polished, giving the wine both structure and elegance, while the finish is long, warming and precise. At this stage, the 2006 vintage is entering a beautiful mature phase but still has significant aging potential; properly stored bottles can continue to develop tertiary complexity for many more years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes for Campo Marna Cinquecento come from some of I Campi’s highest and most dramatic vineyards, planted on poor, stony hillside soils at approximately 550 meters above sea level. This cooler, breezier terroir naturally limits yields and helps preserve acidity, giving Amarone from this site its vibrant lift alongside impressive concentration. The fruit is carefully hand‑harvested, with strict selection in the vineyard, before undergoing the traditional Amarone appassimento process—where bunches are laid to dry for an extended period to concentrate sugars, flavors and tannins. After a long, gentle fermentation, the wine is aged in oak and in bottle to harmonize its power, refine the tannins and build the complexity that defines this cuvée.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a meditative Amarone that pairs beautifully with rich, flavorful dishes such as braised beef, slow‑cooked lamb shanks, venison stews, or aged hard cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano and mature Grana Padano. It also shines alongside hearty mushroom dishes, truffle‑infused preparations and deeply reduced meat sauces. Serve at 18–20°C (64–68°F) for optimal expression. Given its structure and age, decanting for 1–2 hours is recommended to allow the wine to fully open and reveal its layered bouquet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI Campi was founded by Flavio Prà, a fourth‑generation winegrower in the Veneto who has made it his mission to match grape varieties to the most expressive vineyard sites—hence the name \"I Campi,\" meaning \"the fields\" or \"the plots.\" Eschewing a purely volume‑driven approach, Flavio focused on hillside and mountain vineyards, effectively creating a high‑altitude estate that captures the tension between richness and freshness so prized in modern Veneto wines. Known for his experimental spirit and meticulous attention to terroir, he has helped raise the profile of the region’s premium reds, particularly Amarone and Valpolicella, on the international stage. With the next generation now preparing to continue his work, I Campi is firmly established as one of the noteworthy quality‑driven producers in the area.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"I Campi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54256209756497,"sku":"VRI0320","price":228.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/Roedvin-italien-veneto-della-valpolicella-amarone-campo-marna-cinquecento-2006-Corvina-Corvinone-Oseleta-Croatina-vinogvelsmag.png?v=1783463056","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/amarone-campo-marna-cinquecento","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
