Vesevo Aglianico Beneventano IGT

In a Nutshell

Bountiful fruit in this hugely popular red.

Tasting Notes

The nose is complex and intense with a bouquet of red cherries, raspberries and cranberries, which continue through onto the rich, concentrated palate. The wine has firm yet smooth tannins with a lingering spicy finish and hints of vanilla. A particularly good vintage of this wine!

Production Notes

After destemming and crushing, maceration took place for 10-15 days at a temperature of up to 26°C. Fermentation followed and then 10% of the wine was aged in American oak barriques and the rest in temperature controlled stainless steel for eight months.

Grape Blend
