The 2022 Campi Raudii is wonderfully immediate. Pliant and fruity, the 2022 goes down easy. Bright acids and sweet, perfumed notes add complexity as they frame the fruit effortlessly. This simple, uncomplicated Nebbiolo is an absolute delight. - By Antonio Galloni on February 2025
Vallana remains a benchmark for Alto Piemonte. The wines can be a bit rustic, especially in the early going, but they often develop well with time in bottle. Best of all, pricing remains exceptionally friendly.

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.
