Antica Hirpinia Aglianico 2016

Located in Campania near the town of Taurasi , this estate was initially founded in the seventies under the name "Enopolio di Taurasi Società Cooperativa” until it was reborn in October 1991 as Antica Hirpinia. The coop became famous for producing the first bottle of Taurasi DOCG , vintage 1992. This unique bottle, bearing the band n° AAA 000 0001, is still proudly kept in the winery’s cellars. The second bottle was given to Pope Giovanni Paolo II, and the third one to the President of the Italian Republic, Oscar Luigi Scalfaro.

There is a resting time of 6 months before release. It is a full-bodied yet smooth red, with notes of ripe red fruits, licorice, sweet earth and flowers. Raspberries, violet and rosemary on the finish.
