Irpinia Campi Taurasini DOC Eremo San Quirico 2018 Nativ

Eremo San Quirico is a DOC Irpinia Campi Taurasini, part of the Linea di Pregio of the Nativ winery. It is a special variety of Aglianico, grown on the volcanic soil of the Taurasi hills. It is a precious wine, whose value is recognized by the presence on the label of a work by the contemporary painter Moreno Bondi, depicting horses in the wild, gazing around the ancient hermitage of San Quirico.

The Aglianico dei Campi Taurasini grapes are harvested by hand and in small boxes at the end of October. After a light pressing, the must is left in steel tanks for 20 days to begin alcoholic fermentation. The wine is then aged in new French oak barrels for 18 months.

This wine has a very concentrated ruby red colour. On the nose, it has the characteristic notes of ripe red fruit, with the Maiatica di Taurasi cherry standing out, and a light touch of mature spices that support the olfactory system, but never dominate it. The mouth is dense, full and velvety.

Particularly suitable with all red meat and game dishes, it enhances a platter of mature cheeses.
