Crafted from Aglianico 100% , this wine expresses the unique terroir characteristics. Expect layered dark fruit aromas, firm tannins and a long, satisfying finish. The fruit is sourced from vineyards in a calcareous soil at 300-400 m above sea level in Pnte village, on the Taburno slopes. Vinification: destemming, pressing, alcoholic fermentation in steel tanks with maceration on the skins for 20 months and malolactic one in barriques.
