Food Matching Note:
Delicious with roasted, crackling Somerset pork belly, roasted Provencal rack of lamb or simply a good quality, simply prepared rump steak.
Tasting Note:
Opaque ruby red in colour with tinges of purplish-blue. The nose is fruit driven and packed with cherry and raspberry aromas and hints of fresh strawberry leaf. On the palate the wine is medium bodied and highly expressive of it's Mediterranean up-bringing; - rich red and black fruit flavours and hints of spice dominate the flavours and there is a soft, integrated structure which stretches the palate out into a well defined finish.
Vinification Note:
Made predominantly from Aglianico, hand harvested during the last ten days of October from vineyards with clay and sandy soils with calcareous deposits within the Benevento district. After de-stemming and crushing, the juice is fermented in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature of 26°C. Ageing is in steel for 5 months before bottling and release.
