Bason Distina

2017 is the turning point for Claudio Campaner, when the time is ripe to make the most of the 1980 vineyard purchased a few years earlier. Just one hectare planted as it once was, in Malvasia di Candia Aromatica, Moscato Bianco, Marsanne, Barbera and Bonarda, on clay soil at 250m above sea level facing south-east. Thanks also to the experience acquired alongside the famous master distiller Capovilla, Claudio leaves an office job in Milan and dedicates himself to the new project in Bacedasco Alto, Castell'Arquato (PC). From the beginning the practices are those of the Organic, everything is done by hand, using only sulfur and copper wettable in the vineyard, with grassing and late mowing. Manual harvest in 20 kg crates in order not to stress the grapes, fermentations are spontaneous and no clarification or filtering is carried out. To enhance the characteristics of the grapes, all the phases in the cellar take place in fiberglass and cement tanks. The two fermented are produced with ancestral method, without adding must. The marc is then distilled and returned to the soil that generated it.
