Production Notes
Production Notes
Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes were destemmed and gently crushed to retain the natural aromatics and avoid any bitterness from the seeds. Fermentation took place at 26 °C for 15 days. The wine was then transferred into oak barrels and aged for eight months prior to bottling.
Producer Information
Producer Information
Vesevo is situated in the Irpinian hills of Campania. Known as the ‘Switzerland of the South’, this is one of Italy’s most exciting wine-producing areas. The vineyards, planted between 450 and 700 metres above sea level, are subjected to a constant cool breeze that blows off the Bay of Naples. Over the centuries, this same breeze has blown volcanic ash from Mount Vesuvius inland, giving the soil here a poor, volcanic character.
Winemaker Antonio Melone carries the flavours obtained in the vineyard into the winery. The Aglianico hails from the warmer area of Benevento and offers a fine, affordable example of one of Italy’s greatest grapes.
The whites are fermented at lower ‘New Zealand-esque’ temperatures (13 – 14°C), resulting in purer flavours being captured. The Falanghina shows delicate perfumes of white flowers with mineral notes to complement the full, ripe palate.
