Vinified with fermentation in steel for 8 days to extract only the noblest part of the Aglianico. Aged 85% in steel tanks for 5 months and 15% in French oak barriques of 1st passage for 5 months. It is a wine of silky tannins with a soft, harmonious taste and rich and intense fruit.

at sight

A wine of fine ruby color with purple reflections.
 

to the nose

From nose to heart: a wine of pedigree and grace. The bouquet presents a medley of aromas of dark berry, cherry, mulberry and wild flowers such as chamomile and daisies. There are hints of vanilla, pine and cinnamon that make the aromatic set of this wine exceptionally elegant.

on the palate

The taste is enveloping and elegant, soft and gentle. Surprising is the innate freshness and the silky tannins of this wine. The acidity gives a good longevity to the wine and a pleasant drinkability.
