d'Agri Aglianico del Vulture Farnia 2013 |
Aglianico del Vulture wines have the potential to be full bodied, developing a rich texture, a firm tannic structure and the typical chocolate-cherry notes. Aglianico is knowkn for its great aging potential and its ability to soften its tannins and reach a more silky texture with time. That’s why it is indeed callled “the Barolo” from the South.
The color is an intense deep ruby while the bouquet is ample, with dominant notes of bitter cherry, candied fruit, aromatic herbs and distant hints of vanilla and thyme. The flavor has an exceptional, powerful and imperious personality, with warm elegant undertones of spices and cream.
This is a wine with marked minerality and flavor, characteristics that give it extraordinary balance and drinkability.
Pairs well with red meats, game and mature cheeses.
