Re Manfredi - Aglainico del Vulture

Description
Taglio del Tralcio: Aglianico del Vulture with a unique personality
Taglio del Tralcio is an Aglianico del Vulture DOC from Re Manfredi, made from vines grown at 500 metres above sea level on the volcanic soils of Basilicata. The Aglianico, ripened using the "taglio del tralcio" method, undergoes slight dehydration that concentrates aromas and flavours. Red vinification takes place with alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel, followed by several months of ageing.

Grape variety: 100% Aglianico.

Ageing: 6 months in barrels, 6 months in bottle.

Tasting notes: Deep ruby red colour with violet highlights. On the nose it offers a bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and blackberry, with spicy and mineral notes. On the palate it is smooth and enveloping, with balanced tannins and a pleasant persistence.

Pairings: Perfect with cured meats, semi-mature cheeses, red meats and first courses with flavourful sauces.

Why choose it: An Aglianico del Vulture born of an ancient tradition, giving the wine a unique character and surprising drinkability.
