For the times when an Italian red wine beckons, Porro’s Camilu will eagerly heed the call. Vibrancy and vigor are on full display in this bottling, which is made from Nebbiolo grown within the Barolo appellation but declassified to offer an early-drinking option for any weeknight. Fabio and his father, Guido, take their younger, high-yielding vines from the Lazzarito and esteemed Vigna Rionda crus to bottle promptly, capturing the bold and bright beauty of a youthful piemontese red from top sites.
