GILLO 2017 IGP Paestum Aglianico by San Salvatore Azienda Agricola is a Campanian red wine of great personality, designed for those seeking a structured, elegant wine capable of evolving over time.

Territory and wine style

The IGP Paestum designation tells the story of a fascinating territory in Cilento, near Capaccio-Paestum, where the dialogue between sea, history, and landscape helps define a recognizable style. In this context, Aglianico expresses an intense yet measured version, supported by good natural freshness and a solid tannic presence. Aging in French oak barriques adds complexity and spicy nuances, integrating with the character of the grape variety without overpowering it.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a bright ruby red color, compact, with garnet hues. The bouquet is broad and rich: ripe red fruits such as cherry, blueberries, and raspberries emerge, accompanied by notes of sweet spices, balsamic hints, and touches of vanilla. On the palate, the wine is warm, enveloping, and dynamic, with velvety yet present tannins, a well-perceived freshness, and a long, harmonious persistence. The structure is significant, but the drink remains fine and smooth, with a finish that leaves a deep and lasting impression.
