Tasting Notes

Hailing from Campania, this wine offers an authentic taste of the local terroir. At 12% alcohol, it stays light on its feet without sacrificing character. Crafted from Pallagrello Nero 100%, this wine expresses the unique terroir characteristics. It displays rich color intensity with complex aromas and a persistent finish. The fruit is sourced from vineyards located in Caiazzo, on clayey soils with the presence of a structure, cultivated with green manure and spontaneous grassing. Vinification: alcoholic fermentation by indigenous stainless steel yeasts. The wine is aged 20 months in oak and stainless steel tonneaux. A wine true to Campania's tradition of structured, age-worthy wines.
