Questo vino
Vineyard and terroir
The vineyards lie in the mountainous countryside around Mount Taburno in Campania, southern Italy, at 300–400 metres above sea level. Volcanic soils support the late-ripening fruit, which benefits from a long growing season, hot days and moderately cool nights.
Vinification
The grapes are usually harvested in November, partly by hand. Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks for 20–25 days at a controlled temperature of 27 °C.
Ageing
The wine matures for 18 months in new barriques, followed by a further 18 months in bottle.
Tasting profile
Generous, with a persistent aroma typical of Aglianico and a complex structure.
