Made with Aglianico in purity, it tells the strength of one of the noblest grape varieties of Southern Italy in a modern style.

Territory and wine style

The production takes place in Capaccio-Paestum, in the Cannito area, in a location that offers ideal conditions to enhance Aglianico. The vineyards are located between 150 and 210 meters above sea level, with a southwest exposure and clay-limestone soils, elements that contribute to providing balance, thickness, and a savory push to the sip. The manual harvest and selection of grapes, picked at the first light of dawn in September, express the artisanal attention of the winery. After fermentation in steel, the wine undergoes a long aging in new French oak barriques, followed by bottle resting, to build complexity and harmony.

Tasting notes

In appearance, it presents a deep ruby red, enriched with garnet hues. The bouquet is broad and layered, with herbaceous and vegetal hints, underbrush, bell pepper, candied fruit, anise, wilted violet, and a finish that recalls chocolate and cloves. On the palate, it shows a warm, enveloping, and seductive sip, supported by a dense tannic structure and an important framework. The profile is deep, vibrant, and refined, with a long finish and a highly interesting evolutionary potential.

Recommended pairings
