Aglianico Terra d'Eclano Quintodecimo: elegance and depth from Irpinia

Terra d'Eclano is the refined expression of Aglianico signed by Quintodecimo, a label that interprets one of the most important grape varieties of Campania with contemporary style. This Irpinia Aglianico DOC 2013 combines structure, aromatic complexity, and great balance, offering a profile of great personality and a remarkable aging potential. It is a wine designed for those seeking depth, elegance, and a sip capable of evolving over time.

Territory and wine style

The grapes come from owned vineyards located in Mirabella Eclano, in an area of Irpinia near Taurasi, where Aglianico finds one of its most authoritative expressions. The hill is situated at about 420 meters above sea level, an element that helps maintain freshness and definition in the wine. In this context, Terra d'Eclano Quintodecimo interprets the denomination with a seductive and refined style, capable of combining fruity richness, tasting tension, and a fine tannic structure.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a deep and dense color, consistent with the nature of the grape variety. On the nose, complex aromas of berries, plums, licorice, and coffee emerge, accompanied by balsamic and spicy nuances that enhance the aromatic profile. On the palate, the wine shows a enveloping structure, with soft and silky tannins, excellent flavor breadth, and an extremely long finish, crossed by a fresh mineral vein that makes the sip precise and never heavy.

Recommended pairings

Terra d'Eclano pairs naturally with important and flavorful dishes, such as roasts, braised meats, game, oven-roasted lamb, and grilled red meats. Its structure also makes it suitable for traditional dishes with rich sauces, mushrooms, truffles, and aged cheeses. It is an ideal wine for a convivial table but also for more refined dinners, where depth and character are needed.

Serving temperature

The ideal serving temperature for Terra d'Eclano Quintodecimo is between 18 and 20°C. If possible, it is helpful to open it a little in advance to enhance the aromatic expression and the full integration of the flavor profile, especially in a vintage like 2013, already mature but still capable of great vitality.
