Vinification
The shared Campè production profile specifies maceration and alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled vats for an average of 14–15 days, followed by malolactic fermentation in French oak.
Ageing
The Riserva is aged for at least ten years. The shared Campè profile describes French oak barrels, 20% new and the remainder second passage, although a separate Riserva-specific breakdown is not given.

Approximately 400 magnums are produced annually.
Tasting profile
The Campè profile spans rose petals, plum and dark berries, followed by white truffle and underbrush. Firm, harmonious tannins carry a full and powerful finish.
