- Savoury, sauvage notes of leather with hints of black liquorice are enlivened by a deep minerality, culminating in a firm and robust finish. Undertones of vanilla and anise complement the fragrant aromas of Maraschino cherry, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Full of juicy black fruit flavours, the palate is full-bodied and well-balanced, with sweet, soft tannins and an aromatic, persistent finish.
The grapes were harvested at optimum maturity and vinified immediately. Fermentation and maceration occurred in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks over approximately three weeks. Maturation lasted for 18 months in medium-toasted French barrels. The wine then received at least nine months of bottle ageing before being released.

Winery | A grape of great tradition, Aglianico is considered to be one of the most noble and important varieties in the South of Italy. This historic region of the Apennine countryside is known as Irpinia, and it has a unique terroir and climate where vineyards coexist with fruit trees, olives, and aromatic herbs. The winds here divert a beneficial rainfall, which creates a microclimate in Irpinia that differs from Campania; the winters, though brief, are snowy and cold, and the summers can be wet and prolonged. The soils are uniquely volcanic, sandstone, and marl. Each vineyard is closely monitored with a meteorological station, and the technologies of the new state-of-the-art wine cellar ensure that each vintage comes as close to perfection as possible. With the sustainable Equalitas certification, the vineyards are cultivated using ecological practices to maintain the equilibrium of the environment. Soil and fertilizer management strategies are employed, pesticides are not used, biodiversity is positively encouraged, and weeding does not occur between the rows of vines. |
