La Campore

The winery is housed in a farmhouse built in 1738 and its land borders on that of Masino the Castle of which, as a property of the Counts of Valperga, it was once an annex The present owners took it over in 1970, and in 2003 they began to produce wine, attaching great importance to impact on the environment, applying integrated pest control in their vine cultivation, and fuelling the whole place with a photovoltaic plant.

The wines produced are: a standard Erbaluce (white label) and one of superior quality (“nobile” label), made only with grapes from select vines, some of which more than a hundred years old, which give the wine impressive structure. There are also a Metodo Classico Spumante, aged in Masino Castle’s storied cellars, a Passito di Erbaluce with low residual sugar, which goes very well with cheese, a Canavese Rosso and a Nebbiolo. It is possible to visit the estate, especially the vine rows, prettified by lovely wild flowers, with their breathtaking view over the hills all around.
