Pezza la Corte Aglianico del Taburno, Campania, 2014 DOCG

An exquisite 100% Aglianico, grown in a small, espalier-trained (Guyot) vineyard of about 1 hectare located at 300 meters above sea level in the hilly Taburno subzone, near the municipality of Ponte. The calcareous soil, with its stony structure, ensures excellent water and oxygen permeability, making it ideal for viticulture.

Tasting Notes
This Aglianico displays an intense and dark ruby-red colour. The nose reveals delicate hints of red fruit, cherries, and blackberries, complemented by overtones of tobacco, toastiness, and subtle notes of vanilla, followed by a delightful after-aroma of cherry jam. On the palate, it offers a concentrated, soft, and well-orchestrated taste, with a mature and elegant tannic structure. The wine has elegant tannins and a lingering finish.

Food Pairing Suggestions
This bold 100% Aglianico pairs perfectly with rich, savoury dishes. Ideal with braised beef, lamb shank, wild boar ragu, grilled steak, roasted duck, and tomato-based pastas. Aged cheeses like Parmigiano or Pecorino enhance its depth. Try with herb-roasted lamb for a classic match.
