91 pts Vinous (Galloni)
Mostly Nebbiolo, with some Uva Rara and Vespolina, a classic blend that works so well. Sweet dark cherry, tobacco, dried herbs, cedar and spice open effortlessly in a soft, open-knit Alto Piemonte red that is ready to provide pleasure. This is so nicely balanced. - By Antonio Galloni on February 2024

Campi Raudii is a Nebbiolo based cuvee (90% Nebbiolo with Vespolina and Uva Rara) whose story dates back to the Roman period when viticulture was brought in this area. Campi Raudii (Latin for red fields) is the name of one of the most important battles in Roman history which took place near the estate’s current foundation. After a hard-earned victory, the Romans introduced the cultivation of vines to these red-colored soils.
