This bottling is 100% gently-pressed Aglianico fermented at low controlled temperatures in stainless and then aged 8 months in tank before bottling. full-bodied bursting with fresh red berry nuances of curry and chocolate; fantastic accompaniment to strongly-flavored foods particularly medium-aged cheeses and roasted or grilled meats. - San Salvatore
