Fontanavecchia's Aglianico del Taburno DOCG 2020 is an impressive red wine from Campania, made from 100% Aglianico grapes. This grape variety is known for its ability to produce complex and structured wines that have a remarkable ability to age. The combination of hot summer days and cool nights is typical of Aglianico del Taburno and the wine-growing zone around Monte Taburno, which gives the grapes a perfect balance between ripeness and acidity. The soil in this region is rich in limestone and clay, which contribute to the minerality and structure of the wine. The wine impresses with its deep ruby red color, which turns into garnet red as it matures. On the nose, intense aromas of ripe cherries, plums and black berries develop, accompanied by notes of spices, leather and a touch of tobacco. On the palate, this Aglianico is full-bodied and powerful, with a firm tannic structure and well-integrated acidity. The long finish is characterized by spicy and fruity nuances, which give the wine an elegant complexity. This wine can accompany roast red meats, especially lamb, but is also good company for hearty pasta dishes and hard cheeses.
