Piano di Montevergine Taurasi 2009 - FEUDI DI SAN GREGORIO 750ml x 1 bottle

Aglianico is said to be best suited to the area around 41 degrees north latitude in Campania, where volcanic zones are concentrated. The single vineyard of Piano di Montevergine Taurasi is located on volcanic soil at an altitude of 450m. The grapes ripen slowly due to the good ventilation and large temperature difference between day and night.

Grape variety: Aglianico 100%

Tasting notes: Characterized by a deep ruby color. Aromas of ripe cherries and blackberries are balanced with nuances of spice and vanilla. Full-bodied with firm tannins and bright acidity. A long finish of dark chocolate and licorice, resulting in an elegant and complex wine.
