Campanilla Ensamble

Verdict

A reference SLP release. Chino and cuerno are two San Luis Potosí wild agaves that share a northern dry-mineral register but differ in specific character – chino runs drier, cuerno runs more vegetal. Campanilla's ensamble at 50.4% pairs them at a proof where both agaves retain their voices. San Luis Potosí's wild-agave tradition is underrepresented in US specialty distribution, and bottles like this are the category's expansion argument. Track SLP-category specialty bottles like this.
