For the Casual Wine Drinker
Don't let the elegant aromas fool you, this wine is firm in structure and full of dark fruits and minerality. It's also a mouthfull to pronounce, "ahl-YAH-nee-koe".
For the Wine Connoisseur
Aglianico ripens and is harvested very late in the season. The wine boast tannin structure and bright acidity, lending to both its aging potential and food pairing. We age in oak for 16 months, only 20% of which in new French cooperage.
