Aglianico

Protected Geographical Indication (P.G.I.) Atalanti Valley

Type: Red, dry

Grape varieties: 100% Aglianico. Repatriated ancient Greek variety which has been cultivated in Magna Grecia since the great Greek colonization (700-500 b.c.). Its name refers to Vitis Hellenica, leaving no doubt about its greek origin. Its great potential gives long living, robust and complex wines.

Vinification - Maturation: Classic red vinification under controlled temperature. It matures for at least 18 months in French oak barriques in our underground cellars gaining a charming bouquet and a balanced taste.

Alcoholic strengh: 13,5 % Vol

Ageing potential: Enjoy it for at least 10 years after its harvest.

Tasting notes: Deep ruby red colour with purple hues. Well-structured, “warm” aromatic composition of sweet spices, cinnamon, cloves, and vivid black fruit aromas. Intense aromatic opulence and powerful tannins compound a multi-dimensional wine with warm and long finish.

Food pairing - Serving temperature: Ideal with full-tasted recipes such as roast-beef, papardelle with pork tenderloin and sun-dried tomato sauce, small game and mature cheese. Best served in room temperature, about 16-18 °C.
