campania aglianico i.g.t.
Vines have flourished for over two thousand years on the hillsides of Campania, where the harmonious combination of soils and microclimates creates ideal conditions for this grape variety. The style of Aglianico Campania came about thanks to Terredora's ability to preserve the values of tradition and, at the same time, to look at innovation. A wine of modern vinification and refinement, a soft red with good structure.
Variety: 100% Aglianico.
Production area: selected vineyards in areas of Campania.
Winemaking: the grapes are macerated at 24-25 °C for no more than 5-7 days to obtain good color extraction to avoid excessive tannic structure and maintain good aromatic freshness. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature, followed by a period of refinement in stainless steel tanks.
Tasting Notes: ruby red color, with aromas of cherry, black cherry, artemisia, thyme. A wine of medium structure, fresh and soft, with a pleasant aftertaste of black cherry.
Food Pairings: a very food-friendly wine, ideal with cold cuts, Mediterranean cuisine, such as soups and pasta dishes, white meat and light main courses. Perfect as an aperitif.
Best served at 16°C.
