100% Aglianico Del Vulture
Grown in the Maschito, Irsina and Acerenza areas of the Basilicata region, just a few miles southeast of the extinct Vulture volcano. Colonized by the Greeks around 7th century B.C., the area is rich in ancient folklore and myth. Mostly hilly and mountainous, it is wedged between the two seas of the Mediterranean basin and is one of the country’s least populated areas; the climate is mostly continental.
Hand-harvested grapes from select vineyards are pre-fermented and macerated at controlled temperatures. The wine ages in stainless steel and barrique. Lovely structure and ripe tannins make for a young and appealing version of a noble wine.
98 points Miglior Vino Rosso D’Italia Luca Maroni
Double selection of grapes, in order to remove any traces of vegetable residuals on the bunch. Soft stalk-stripping and destemming. Then vinification in small wood vats, with maceration for 25-30 days and manual pump-overs every 6 hours. Refining: 24 month in new barriques, where malolactic fermentation occurs.
Deep red. Hints of blackberry and blackcurrants mixed with spicy and balsamic notes. Great structure, long, balsamic finish, persisting aftertaste.It matches with all dishes made with meat; seasoned cheeses, easily drinkable at anytime of the day.
