Intense ruby red color.
The nose has splendid and refined aromas of stem fruit, such as plum and plum. Followed by dark berries such as blackberry. Also smells of Mediterranean scrub, which remind us of the mentholated ones of aromatic herbs. There is no shortage of spices with coffee and licorice. Hints of tobacco appear timid
On the palate it is endowed with an enveloping structure and notable thick in the sip. The perfectly ripe tannins are soft and silky, and the minerality manifests itself in an enveloping final. For the softness we observe a remarkable creaminess so as to have a deep and intense sip.
Overall it is a Campania red wine from a serious and concrete winemaker, capable of expressing an excellent and fascinating interpretation of Aglianico.
