- Ruby red. Its nose offers compelling aromas of ripe red fruit, cherries, and black cherries that follow over to fresh hints of mint and sweet notes of vanilla. A supple, well-balanced palate with pleasant tannins and excellent freshness is typical of Aglianico. A rich, expressive nose, with red fruit – particularly Marasca cherry – and a toasty, spicy component. It is structured but generous on the palate, with powerful blackberry fruit and excellent concentration.
- Elegance and balance are Aglianico's smoothest expressions.
The grapes were harvested at full ripeness levels to produce a rich wine. After pressing, the must was fermented in conical stainless steel tanks at temperatures around 25°C. The phase of skin contact, carried out with soft techniques to guarantee a gradual and balanced extraction, lasted 15 days. After being run off its skins, the wine went into 60-gallon French and Hungarian oak barrels, where it also went through a complete malolactic fermentation, and the ageing period before bottling lasted twelve months. An additional eight-month period of bottle ageing preceded commercial release.

| Winery | The Bocca di Lupo estate is located in the northern Puglian countryside of Minervino Murge, in the DOC region of Castel del Monte, an area well known for its wild beauty. The vines grow at about 300 meters above sea level in the Murgia, an area with challenging climatic conditions and soils low in nutrients, meaning patient hard work is required to produce wines that are elegant, lively, and with well-defined precision. Certified organic winemaking is not simply a final objective but an opportunity. Local varietals like Aglianico, Nero di Troia and Fiano Pugliese represent the heart of the Castel del Monte agronomic history. They have worked to an unrivalled finesse since Antinori’s first investment in the region in the late 1990s. |
