The Story
This iconic and deeply majestic southern Italian red wine displays an intense, impenetrable ruby red color with dark violet and garnet reflections. The bouquet is lavish, complex, and extraordinarily broad, opening with powerful aromas of ripe blackberries, black cherries, and plum compote, beautifully layered with sophisticated notes of licorice, dark cocoa, sweet tobacco leaf, and a delicate touch of toasted oak and vanilla. On the palate, it exhibits a monumental, full-bodied structure driven by a rich, opulent core of dark fruits. The mouthfeel is incredibly dense, smooth, and velvety, perfectly counterbalanced by a balanced regional freshness and framed by noble, fine-grained tannins that carry into a spectacularly long, warm, and savory finish.
Food Pairing: A true powerhouse wine that pairs outstandingly with slow-roasted lamb shanks, wild boar ragù, prime cuts of grilled red meat, venison, and well-matured regional cheeses.
