In the glass, it displays a deep ruby colour with slight orange reflections. The aromatic profile reveals a complex bouquet, characterised by distinct notes of green pepper and coriander, accompanied by deep hints of undergrowth, tobacco leaves and bitter cocoa. On the palate, it expresses a \u003cstrong\u003efull and elegant structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, revealing itself as smooth and velvety.

The vineyards are situated about one hundred metres above sea level, trained on trellises on soils characterised by a predominantly \u003cstrong\u003eclay-sandy composition\u003c\/strong\u003e.

In the winery, vinification begins with a \u003cstrong\u003emaceration on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e lasting about a month, a crucial phase to extract the correct colour texture and tannic components. Subsequently, the wine undergoes complete malolactic fermentation, thus softening its harsher edges. Ageing is skilfully divided between the use of \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e and stainless steel tanks, in order to balance the spicy imprint of the wood with the freshness of the fruit. The process concludes with a further \u003cstrong\u003esix months' rest\u003c\/strong\u003e before release, consolidating the overall harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduced to Italy by the Phoenicians, Aglianico produces a wine so refined that it was even celebrated by Pope Paul III.
