Tasting Notes

GRAPE VARIETY 100% Aglianico. TRAINING SYSTEM Vertical trellis with spur-pruned cordon. We also have century-old vines known as “raggiera avellinese,” which produce grapes of outstanding organoleptic quality. HARVEST PERIOD Late October / early November. SOIL COMPOSITION Volcanic, with areas of clay-limestone. VINIFICATION The grapes, hand-harvested and transported in crates, undergo gentle crushing and maceration for about 4 weeks in stainless steel tanks. At the end of fermentation, the wine is aged in new French oak barriques. AGING It evolves in medium-toast oak barriques, then continues aging in the bottle. ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTERISTICS Intense ruby red color. Aromas of marasca cherry and plum, with a spicy finish. On the palate, it is powerful, round, and full-bodied, with notes of wild blackberry. PAIRINGS Typical Mediterranean cuisine. Roasted meats, braised dishes, meat-based sauces, and aged cheeses.
