Aglianico del Vulture DOC Teodosio 2012 Basilisco
Description
Theodosius wine owes its name to a Byzantine emperor, a Basileus, which in ancient Greek means "king", whose image, shown on a 5th century coin, then became the icon of the company.
Born from Aglianico grapes and volcanic, tuffaceous and clayey soils, its vineyards grow in Barile: here, it ages for 10-12 months in French oak barriques.
It is a wine with splendid minerality, ruby red in color with a tendency to violet. It envelops the nose with aromas of berries with a prevalence of plum and sour cherry. On the palate it is well balanced, full and persistent.
Due to its organoleptic profile, it is the ideal companion for first courses of Mediterranean cuisine, for second courses based on red meat and game and for mature cheeses.
