Aglianico del Vulture DOP Terre di Orazio 2020 - Cantina di Venosa

The Aglianico del Vulture DOP Terre di Orazio from Cantina di Venosa is a wine that embodies the quintessence of Basilicata. Made from 100% Aglianico grapes, this wine originates from vineyards situated between 450 and 500 meters in altitude, a detail that contributes to its aromatic complexity. The age of the vineyards ranges between 15 and 30 years, ensuring a maturity and depth of flavor that are reflected in every sip. Visually, the wine presents itself with an intense ruby-red color, enriched by slight garnet reflections. On the nose, it offers a vinous and unique bouquet, with delicate scents of violet and currant. On the palate, Terre di Orazio is dry, full, and intense, with a pleasantly tannic note that makes it irresistible. The vinification takes place in small fermenters, followed by a pellicular maceration at controlled temperature. The aging occurs in 25 hl barrels for 15 months, and then it is bottled, thus ensuring a well-structured and elegant wine. As for pairings, this wine perfectly complements roasts of white meats, flavorful first courses, and spicy cheeses.
