Villa Raiano Aglianico Campania 2023

Winemaking

The Aglianico grapes are souced from the Castelfranci, Venticano and Bonito vineyards - at altitudes of around 500m. The grapes are macerated and fermented on skins, in stainless steel, for around 10 days. Half of the wine is then matured in French oak (a mixture of 2-3 year old barriques and larger barrels) for 12 months, and half in stainless steel on lees. Both are then blended before bottling.

Tasting Note

A powerful and lifted red, fresh and spicy on the nose with black fruits and smokey, tarry notes. Wild plum and bitter cherry fruit is balanced by taut acidity and firm but ripe tannins. An impeccably made wine combining depth and structure with vibrant, spicy fruit.

Food Match

Drink with pasta and mushroom dishes, or ravioli with fresh ricotta. Alternatively - great with steak!
