Pignanera in Anfora
Aglianico IGP
A special blend of grapes (50% Aglianico, 50% Montepulciano) is reserved for vinification and aging in 400-liter amphorae, and then stored in small 1-liter amphorae, with a limited release of only 125 pieces. It has a deep ruby red color with slight garnet reflections. On the nose, it is intense and elegant, exhibiting fruity, spicy, and balsamic aromas reminiscent of wild red berries, black cherry, licorice, cocoa, and lightly smoked hints. Excellent structure and elegance on the palate, with balanced tannins and a long, spicy finish.
This robust red pairs well with fatty meats, game, beef grills, and spicy cheeses. Our ideal pairing is with beef braised in red wine reduction.
