The fact that few have heard of it is a twist of historical fate unrelated to quality. Romans knew it was excellent, emperor Nerva built a palace in Piglio to be close to beloved Cesanese vines. Popes Innocent III and Bonifacius VIII were fans. Five hundred years ago the family of Pope Sixtus V owned the property where the Cesanese we import is cultivated, Castello di Torre in Pietra, which makes the sprawling estate just north of metropolitan Rome as good a place as any to start the story of this forgotten vine.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFive hundred years ago the cellar of Castello di Torre in Pietra was carved into a tufa cliff face by the Perotti family, of Sixtus V fame. For centuries the marshy, malarial coastal land surrounding the pontiff’s farm was a hunting ground for the nobility of Rome. Falconieri princes decorated a quite elaborate “hunting lodge” with architecture and frescoes from the best artists 18th century Rome had to offer. An impressive hexagonal chapel was built beside sturdy pavers of the Roman road that winds through Torre in Pietra, bound for the Tyrrhennian sea. As the fortunes of Falconieri princes waned their attention turned away from Torre in Pietra. The property sank into disrepair.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIts existence today is tied to the fate of Senator Luigi Albertini, an early 20th century media moghul (owner of Milan daily Corriere della Sera) and strident antifascist (always a good thing to be) who was forced to divest himself of newspaper ownership by the very profascist government of Benito Mussolini. Albertini used his unwillingly freed up capital to purchase Castello di Torre in Pietra, and quite literally “drain the swamp” surrounding the ancient structure. He imported black-and-white Carnation dairy cattle from Washington to graze on the newly rehabilitated land. Torre in Pietra became the major milk source for urban Rome. Albertini also planted olives and Cesanese vines, setting the stage for the modern activity of this mixed-use farm.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI met senator Albertini’s heir Filippo Antonelli for lunch in the excavated cellar of Castello di Torre in Pietra. Along with a Tuscan cousin, Filippo manages the modern operations of the winery. It was a typical hot-as-blazes July day in sun-baked Lazio. The winery’s courtyard was scorching, inside the cave was wonderfully cool. We talked about the long history of the property (detailed above) and went even deeper into the land’s pre-history, admiring the ancient-and-massive mastodon femur which occupies pride of place in the entrance to the cellar. The bone was unearthed during excavation of the cellar. The rest of the elephant skeleton (which provides the name for Torre in Pietra’s “elephas” line of IGT wines) was stolen by Nazis, who used this bomb-resistant space as their headquarters during WWII. Fascists: so easy to dislike, and so interwoven with our modern lives, and the stories of the wines we sell.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBut back to the farm.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTorre in Pietra has livestock, but today the largest part of the farm is devoted to growing cereals. There are eight hectares of olives, and on breezy, sunny hills facing the Mediterranean, several parcels of native grapes are grown: Vermentino, Fiano, Sangiovese, and thankfully Cesanese. The farm is certified organic. Its vineyards have been cultivated in accordance with the precepts of organic agriculture for over two decades.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBreccia is a single vineyard. “Terre di Breccia” features Cesanese fermented on the skins for 20 days at 30 degrees Celsius. After alcoholic fermentations the wine completes malolactic fermentation in wood barrels. Post-malo, the wine is aged in 500 liter French barrels for a year, followed by an additional year of aging in cement, and six months of resting in bottle.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThere are at least three distinct versions of Cesanese, unsurprising given the grape’s long history of cultivation. The homeland of all three is Lazio. The best of the three seems to thrive primarily in the outskirts of Rome. All versions of Cesanese are difficult to ripen, making the arid coastal expanses of this region ideal for its cultivation. Cesanese needs heat. The wine exudes red cherry fruitiness and (like high quality peers Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, et al.) never becomes inky in color. You should expect (and in the case of Terre di Breccia, you’ll get) something wonderfully in-the-middle. Aromatics and freshness that harken to cooler northern Italian wines, ripeness and texture that speak meaningfully of the presence of the not-too-distant Italian south.

The first vines were planted in 1976, and as some of the oldest in Oregon, they continue to produce some of Cameron’s finest wines. A younger block of Pinot Noir was established in 1990 on a hillside above the original vines. Known as Arley’s Leap, this block is named in honor of Bill and Julia’s beloved dog, Arley, whose legendary leap from a second-story balcony in Victoria—startled by a cat—remains family lore. In 1984, another hillside at Abbey Ridge was planted to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, forming the foundation for Cameron’s Dundee Hills cuvées, supplemented by fruit from other sites in the appellation. At the highest elevation, several acres of Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio, and Auxerrois contribute to Cameron’s Italian-inspired white blends, Giovanni and Giuliano.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAbbey Ridge is farmed with only organic sprays. As a non-irrigated site, soil moisture is managed through a rotation of cover crops and clean-cultivated areas, with mowing heights adjusted relative to rainfall to optimize water retention.

One of the highest vineyards in the Red Hills of Dundee, Abbey Ridge is typically harvested later than most sites—mid-October for Pinot Noir and mid-to-late October for the white varieties. This extended growing season yields fruit with naturally high acidity and wines of remarkable aging potential.

The winery's name pays homage to its location in Dundee and reflects the Paul family's Scottish Clan heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAt Cameron Winery, the team consists of experienced individuals, including winemaker Tom Sivilli, vineyard manager Phil London, and John's partner Teri, who brings a sense of humor to their operation. Additionally, Julian Paul is involved in label design and product development, while Tawny Paul plays an essential role in the winery's activities. The team is completed by their furry and feathered friends, including dogs, a cat, chickens, and bees. Cameron Winery is not only committed to producing exceptional wines but also to sustainable farming practices, with a growing focus on regenerative agriculture. Their unique approach, dedication to quality, and a touch of humor make them a distinctive and beloved presence in the world of winemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dundee Hills, Willamette Valley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40321432748166,"sku":"KS-Cameron-Clos-R","price":78.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/0338\/0543\/files\/CameronClosEleqtriquePinot.png?v=1763948434"},{"product_id":"wb635721","title":"DAMILANO BAROLO CANNUBI 2019","description":"\u003cdiv aria-label=\"Review number 1\"\u003e\n\u003cp role=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ptag-score product-rating\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e95\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJames Suckling - Jamessuckling.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eCaptivating aromas of roses, cherries, strawberries and fresh oranges.

So far, not much has changed, but as a fervent supporter of Carema, I suspect Rosenthal has some exciting new developments in store. The main wines remain the two Caremas. As always, the Etichetta Bianca (White Label) is the more linear and vibrant of the two wines. The Etichetta Nera (Black Label) is done in a richer, more structured style informed by a dash of neutral French oak that adds textural resonance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"\"\u003eGrapes: \u003c\/strong\u003eErbaluce 100%\u003cbr class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"\"\u003eSite:\u003c\/strong\u003e A single-vineyard site in the the town of Piverone\u003cbr class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"\"\u003eSoils:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glacial granitic moraine\u003cbr class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"\"\u003eVines:\u003c\/strong\u003e Planted at 1,800 vines\/ha and trained in Guyot, vines average 40 years old.\u003cbr class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"\"\u003eWinemaking:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003eWine ferments in stainless-steel tanks; 4-6 months on the lees; \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"\"\u003eNO MALO: \u003c\/strong\u003eMalolactic Fermentation is prevented through temperature; press wine is blended\u003cbr class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"\"\u003eAging:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9-12 months in stainless-steel tanks (90%) and neutral oak boti (10%) with weekly batonnage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003eImporter: This special cuvée is produced from the single-vineyard “cru” site of Cascina Cariola situated in the village of Piverone.
