Campal 2022
Alpamanta means "Love to Earth" or "terroir" in the native Quechuan language. A tenet of the region’s ancient Indigenous culture that has promoted a way of working that requires co-existing in harmony with nature and the environment. Taking care of the Earth. "This fresh, fruit-driven wine from our selected single-vineyard grapes coexist in harmony with our local fauna and flora, expressing a wide spectrum of spices and herbal flavors as a result of our unique farming practices. The wine expresses aromas of black fruits, pepper and herbaceous notes. On the palate, it is rounded with firm tannin and a gentle finish." - Winemaker’s Notes
