Where it comes from

This wine comes from Campania from grapes grown and ripened under the southern sun. The vineyards are rooted in sandy-loam soils, a feature that promotes a direct aromatic expression and enriches its profile with a distinct savory edge. The environmental conditions favor optimal grape development, resulting in a dry sip without compromising the sensation of freshness. Its regional origin guarantees a faithful and structured interpretation of the grape varieties used.

How it is produced

Aglianico and Piedirosso grapes are carefully harvested and selected by hand in the third decade of October, at full maturity. Vinification involves fermentation in steel, a technical choice aimed at highlighting the fruit’s clarity and distinctiveness. This is followed by refining in steel and then in bottle, allowing the structure to stabilize and the aromas to integrate. The result is a wine with a clear-cut character, balanced and with excellent persistence.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it displays a ruby red color with lively violet reflections. The bouquet reveals a refined profile, with clear fruity and floral notes, accentuated by mineral hints and toasted, smoky nuances typical of the grape varieties. On the palate, it is dry and smooth, providing a continuous sip. The pronounced tannins are balanced by freshness and savoriness, prolonging the finish for a lasting impression perfectly in line with the body.

Food pairings

Its structure makes it ideal alongside boards of cold cuts and cured meats, where its natural savoriness effectively contrasts with spicy notes and richness. It pairs effortlessly with red meats, thanks to the tannic profile that supports robust textures. On the everyday table, it is perfect with a classic ragù, as the intensity of the sip elevates the rich sauce. The smoky hints ensure a clean, satisfying match in every case.

When to serve

It’s the right choice when you want a well-balanced and full-bodied red, able to accompany flavorful dishes while retaining its own character. It’s suited for lunches or dinners with braised preparations, where its fresh and savory streak constantly cleanses the palate. Its technical style, the result of careful processing in steel, offers evident fruity aromas and a lingering finish.
