The Vineyard
The grapes used for the production of Campo all’Albero IGT come from carefully selected vineyards located on rolling hills where the mineral-rich soil is conducive to the growth of robust and fruitful vines.

Production Process
The production process of Campo all’Albero IGT La Sala wine is an excellent example of how traditional winemaking techniques can be elevated through the use of modern technology to achieve a superior quality product.
Selection and Harvesting of Grapes The quality of the wine begins with the care of the vines and the selection of the grapes.
Sangiovese grapes, predominant in this blend, are harvested by hand at the optimal time of ripeness.
Hand picking is essential to ensure that only the healthiest and ripest bunches are selected, thus avoiding damage to the fruit that could negatively affect the flavors of the wine. Vinification Once in the winery, the grapes undergo a gentle crushing, followed by the cold maceration phase for several hours.
This process helps extract colors and aromas while maintaining the freshness of the grapes.
Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, maintaining a controlled temperature between 25 and 28 degrees Celsius.
This environment preserves the fruity and fresh notes of Sangiovese. Maturation After fermentation, the wine is transferred to French oak barrels where it remains for about 12 to 18 months.
The use of wood is non-invasive; the barrels are carefully chosen to ensure that the wood enriches the wine without overpowering its natural flavors.
Wood gives the wine complexity, structure and subtle notes of spice and vanilla, harmoniously integrating with the varietal characteristics of Sangiovese. Bottle Aging Once the barrique aging is complete, the wine is bottled and allowed to rest further in the bottle for at least six months.
This aging period allows the wine to develop an additional level of complexity and harmony.
Chemical interactions that occur slowly in the bottle refine the tannic profile and improve the integration of fruit and oak aromas. Quality Control Prior to release, each batch of wine undergoes rigorous quality control.
