Over two and a half centuries the house has expanded its vineyard holdings to more than 390 ha—including 12 of Champagne’s 17 Grand Cru villages—and perfected a deep reserve-wine library that guarantees continuity.

Positioned at elevations between 375 and 400 meters above sea level, the vineyard benefits from a southwest exposure and is characterized by red eocenic limestone soils with excellent drainage. The terraced landscape, supported by traditional dry stone walls known as “marogne,” combined with good ventilation, creates an ideal microclimate for cultivating grapes with concentrated flavors and balanced acidity. \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eHarvested in early October, the grapes undergo the traditional “appassimento” process, where they are dried on bamboo racks in well-ventilated lofts until mid-February, resulting in a weight loss of 35–40%.

The wine is then aged for three years: 60% in large Slavonian oak barrels (30–40 hl) and 40% in smaller Slavonian and Allier oak casks (600 liters), followed by a minimum of six months of bottle aging.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe 2012 Campolongo di Torbe Amarone exhibits a deep garnet color.

Spring was met by generally mild conditions, resulting in excellent set across most varieties. Summer was warm with very few hot days, and veraison occurred two weeks earlier than in 2017. 2018 was a spectacular year for flowering of the local Marri trees, which kept birds distracted from the ripening vineyards. Harvest commenced in the Riesling in the middle of February, followed by Chardonnay a week later. The juice was settled for 3 days, racked and inoculated with yeast. 100% of the juice was barrel fermented in new French oak barriques and the lees stirred regularly.
