La Rioja
D.O. ca RiojaThe „Bodegas Campillo” estate is located just outside of Laguardia in the Rioja Alavesa sub-region in Rioja in Spain. It was founded in 1861, and has been part of the Faustino group since 1990. In the past, Campillo was considered to be a sort of second label for Faustino. Only Campillo wines were filled into new barriques, in order, so one thought, to „break in” the barrels and „take off the edge”. However, this had the (undesirable and unintentional) effect that the second label (Campillo) was frequently better than the first label (Faustino). Nowadays Campillo is regarded as a separate brand in its own right, and is marketed as such. The vineyard area totals 50 hectares, these are planted aminly with Tempranillo, as well as with Graciano, Viura, MalvasĆa and Cabernet Sauvignon. The product range includes the Reserva Especial (60% Tempranillo, 40% others), Gran Reserva (100% Tempranillo), Reserva (75% Tempranillo, 10% Graciano, 15% others), Crianza (100% Tempraniollo), Rosado (100% Tempranillo) and Blanco (Viura, MalvasĆa). Around 20% of production is exported.
