Aglianico DOC Irpinia
€18.03
Aglianico is a precious red grape variety typical of Southern Italy, in particular of Basilicata and Campania. The vines prefer hilly but above all volcanic, clayey and calcareous territories from which they derive the extraordinary minerality. Climatically, Aglianico needs breezy hills and winters that are not too harsh, just as it suffers from excessive heat and drought. Aglianico is not an immediate wine, you have to give it time. To begin to express its qualities it must age from 3 to 5 years (depending on the type) even if it gives its best from 10 years of aging . The refinement takes place in oak wood, but there are also those who use the barrique, with consequent enhancement of the aromas
