A deep ruby-red colour, often with youthful violet reflections. The nose is complex and intense, revealing aromas of dark fruits like black cherry, plum, and blackberry, interwoven with notes of dried herbs, such as oregano and thyme, and a distinctive volcanic minerality reminiscent of volcanic rock or ash. Hints of spice, like black pepper and a touch of liquorice, add further complexity to the aromatic profile, hinting at the wine's ageing potential.
This Aglianico is full-bodied and structured on the palate, with firm tannins that provide a powerful backbone. The concentrated dark fruit flavours from the nose are echoed on the palate, balanced by a vibrant acidity that contributes to a long, persistent finish. The wine's structure and complexity make it an excellent pairing for rich, flavorful dishes. It pairs beautifully with roasted or braised red meats such as lamb, beef, or game, hearty stews, aged cheeses, and dishes with rich sauces. Its robust character makes it a good match for grilled meats and game birds. Due to its structure and tannins, this wine can also age well for many years, developing further complexity and smoothness.
