Aglianico and Piedirosso grapes are grown in the hilly vineyards of the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) area on the northeastern slope of Mount Taburno, on soils composed of limestone and clay with small percentages of sand, depending on the specific growing area.
Tasting notes
A deep, soft pink color, due to the grape variety’s characteristic polyphenols. The nose is remarkably intense and persistent, evoking floral notes of rose and violet accompanied by red currant and pomegranate (blueberries). The palate is balanced with an intriguing structure; freshness and savory notes are accompanied by a hint of tannin on the finish.
Serving temperature
Serve at 10°–12°C
Food and wine pairings
Well-structured first courses, elaborate fish main courses, and white meats. It also pairs well with medium-aged cheeses.
