Vestini
Campagnano

The effort of the families Barletta and Quaranta is aimed to the company growth, through the promotion of cultural events and caring the continuous
evaluation of their own land with particular attention to the exploration of new productive paths,
thanks to the wine-making contribute of the already most famous and youngest Mr Paolo Caciorgna, tuscan Brunello
worker , who follows Mr Luigi Moio towards the research of an essential qualitative potential, a unique modern discovery
of a archeological flavour born by an ancient spherical perfection
Our
wines
Pallagrello nero
A wine aged in small oak barrels for a minimum of one year, whose tannins, initially, leave a strong impression; then the nose, and immediately after wards the palate, register an explosive and varied blend of fully ripe fruit and much balance even in so structured a wine. Even for expert palates, this wine shows a complexity and dynamism well out of the ordinary
Casavecchia riserva
Aged in small oak barrels for at least a year, and in bottle for a further two months, the wine is quite original in character with a complex structure, intense in texture and powerful on the nose. Slow to open, it offers the amplest possibilities of further development and appreciation, a variegated personality distinguished by expressive notes of blackberries and spices on the nose and palate
Le ortole
Full in flavor, it is fermented and partially aged in oak barrels for a minimum period of five months in order to fully bring out all of its aromas; Pallagrello Bianco is a grape variety which has been grown in Campania for millennia, and fermented in this manner it offers a great complexity
of flavors, complete and velvety. It is a sensual white wine which expresses tropical fruit and a touch of vanilla; medium-bodied and structured, its balanced acidity drives
the full spectrum of flavors towards a long a persistent finish
Pallagrello Bianco
Soft on the palate, medium-bodied with expressive aromas of ripe peaches, citrus fruit, and hazel nuts which mix and mingle to create a whole which is greater than its parts; a vibrant touch of acidity complete sand balances the flavors. Served with fried and peppery blue fish or with goat cheese matched with fig jam it is ideal for those seeking brilliant, intense, and delicate flavors
Vado Ceràso
An intense rosy pink in color, it is the fruit of a “white “ fermentation, of red grapes–Pallagrello Nero and Casavecchia in equal parts–with only the briefest contact of the must with its skins. A sustained and important example of rosé wine, it is distinguished by a light, but constant, presence of aromas and flavors which recall the original character and personality of the red grapes from which it is made
Kajanero
Pallagrello nero e Casavecchia costituiscono oltre il 70% di questo vino dal carattere decisamente originale, arricchito da altre varietà autoctone tipiche delle colline caiatine; tra queste, particolari cloni di aglianico e vitigni rari quali la Pizzutella. Vino ben strutturato che compie un breve passaggio in legno senza perciò perdere le peculiari doti di armonia tra uve fortemente rappresentanti di un territorio.
Connubio
An intense wine,
a compendium of the territory whose grapes have been rediscovered and reborn and which has confirmed its millennia-old potential for great wine. Spicy, fragrant but at the same time elegant in structure, it first overwhelms the senses with its amplitude and then closes with grace amidst sensations whose memory lasts and lingers.
Its maturation in oak endows it with superb aging possibilities. The happy marriage of two grape varieties, once lost and now re-found
Asprinio brut
There is much to be discovered, much character and originality in this ancient grape variety defined byItalian writer Mario Soldati as a “little big wine”.Dry as no other grape in the world, it is trained up poplar trees up to a height of some 50 feet and can be found only in 22 different townships around the city of Aversa in northern Campania. It slow alcohol level make it strikingly modern in its drinkability and it shows much personality in the sparkling version.

Poderi
Foglia
The passion for wine and the love for its ownland, has pushed Maria Grazia Foglia, Alberto Barletta and their children, together with their partners,Fiorella and
Severino Quaranta and other relatives of the family Quaranta, to take back in the farms of Conca della Campania - after having contributed, with "Azienda Agricola Vestini Campagnano" of Caiazzo, to the rediscovery of the autochthonous casertan vines Pallagrello and
Casavecchia - the cultivation of grapes that had an ancient bond with the territory
producing some wines that were well known and appreciated already in
the 17th century, even though produced in limited quantities; we report to the well evoked "Rosso di Conca", to which is placed side by side a white of rank today.
That was the birth of the adventure for "Poderi Foglia"

wines
ConcaBianco
This perfuse and intense white wine shows a lively vein of acidity along with ripe fruit and a touch of almonds. It is a harmonious blend of two different grapes: the generous Falanghina and the aristocratic Pallagrello Bianco
Concarosso
Aged in small oak barrels for at least a year, and in bottle for a further two months, the wine is quite original in character with a complex structure, intense in texture and powerful on the nose. Slow to open, it offers the amplest possibilities of further development and appreciation, a variegated personality distinguished by expressive notes of blackberries and spices on the nose and palate
Concarosso riserva
This version of Rosso di Conca draws its power and finesse from two native grape varieties, Aglianico and Pallagrello Nero and is an essential and rooted expression of the potassium- rich soils of the territory around the extinct volcano of Roccamonfina. It is precisely here that the Podere Foglia estate is headquartered, and it is here that the wine ages 18 months in small French oak barrels. An intense ruby red in color, its aromas of plums, leather, and berry fruit are followed by ample, supple, and sustained flavors on the palate
Le Nostre
Uve
Pallagrello nero
Secondo il Trutta già i Romani ne facevano uso (detto nei Saturnali di Macrobio “pilleolata”) come componente del Falerno. Secondo il Froio (1876) era capace di “vini buoni e serbevoli”:
oggi, superate tutte le vicissitudini, allevato razionalmente, è attualmente protagonista in abito scuro e chiaro di una notevole escalation qualitativa che si sta imponendo all’attenzione degli appassionati; i risultati non si contano: tra il
2002 ed il 2010, vari cinque grappoli AIS, Super tre stelle Veronelli, tre bicchieri Gambero Rosso e 5 bottiglie della Guida dell’Espresso sono, al dilà dell’indiscutibile valore promozionale, un segnale di conferma non solo di una serie di enoprodotti, ma della bontà di un progetto che, oramai ha ricavato un posto di rilievo nell’enologia campana.
Casavecchia
The millennia-old story of Trebulanum lives once again thanks to the efforts of Vestini Campagnano, this time in the form of an young red wine, full of charm. The Casavecchia grape offers rich and unique aromas, full of spice and an exceptional fragrance. Fascinating and unique in this version, aged without oak and bottled when still young

Vestini Campagnano was born at "SS. Giovanni e Paolo ”in Caiazzo immediately dedicating himself to Pallagrello.
Speaking of "wine archeology" here is more than appropriate.
