About him: an extreme and unconventional wine! It comes from pure Aglianico grapes, selected from the oldest vines of about 90-100 years old. Fill the glass with impenetrable ruby red. An unsettling and absolutely unusual nose, it explodes in a lively way of earth, leather, plums and is constantly counteracted by a perceptible volatile sensation reminiscent of enamel. Histrionic and never tamed, tasting the liquid reveals all its character, driven by an uncontrollable freshness and a roaring and sculpted tannins. Long persistence, it's an amazing wine, but not for everyone. To understand, without any hurry.
