Aglianico is the most important red grape variety in Campania. The grape expresses itself in this wine with a fine deep ruby red colour and with a generous fruity fragrance, enriched by a variegated spiciness and a charming balm-like hint. On the palate the robust tannins underpin the concentrated, mouth-filling structure, enlivened by ripe fruit and made intriguing by an attractive animal hint of leather and fur.
75 cl Bordeaux-style bottles.
