In the glass

Full-bodiedFirm tanninHigh acidityDryLong finish

Aroma: cassis, blackberry, cherry, flowers

Palate: blueberry, redcurrant, tobacco, almond

Dark, dense and brooding in colour, with cassis and blackberry over floral lift, then a full palate that shades into tobacco and almond and closes velvety, soft and fresh.

What it pairs with

  • Grilled beef tagliata with rosemary
    Fine-grained tannin holds up to the char without stripping the meat.
  • Pastissada de caval
    Verona's horse-meat stew has the depth to meet the tobacco and almond register.
  • Aged Monte Veronese d'allevo
    The cheese's salt sharpens the wine's blueberry and redcurrant core.

History

Campo Morar is Viviani's single-site Valpolicella Superiore, named for the parcel at Mazzano. The estate treats it as a Valpolicella made to the standard of an Amarone rather than as a stepping stone, and it is regularly held in the cellar for several years before release.

Frequently asked about Viviani Campo Morar Valpolicella Classico Superiore

What does Viviani Campo Morar taste like?

The estate describes a dark, dense, deep colour, with fine scents of cassis, blackberry and cherry and floral echoes that add finesse, then blueberry and redcurrant on a full body that shades towards tobacco and almond. The palate is long, with young but velvety tannin and marked freshness.

When should I drink Viviani Campo Morar?

Between four and fifteen years from the vintage. Viviani already holds the wine back before release, so bottles reach the market with some age; give a young example an hour in a decanter.

Where is Viviani Campo Morar made?

At Mazzano, high in the Negrar valley in the Valpolicella Classica zone, from the parcel that gives the wine its name.
