The origin of Campagnola Morando

The family's winemaking roots in the Marano di Valpolicella valley date back to 1907, when Caterina Zardini inherited exclusive management of the estate upon the death of her husband, Carlo Campagnola. In the 1940s, their son, Giuseppe Campagnola, moved the family business to its current location in the village of Valgatara, in Valpolicella Classico. Here, he built the cellar that is still used to age Campagnola Valpolicella wines. Campagnola expanded significantly in the 1970s when it added new expressions of northeastern Italian wines to its portfolio. In the 1990s, the focus shifted to producing high-quality Valpolicella wines, and today the company cultivates and partners with winemakers approximately 80 hectares of vineyards in this region, along with 30 hectares in Bardolino, 25 hectares in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, and 20 hectares in Soave.
