Description and technical sheet
Aglianico del Vulture Rotondo di Paternoster is born in the homonymous Contrada in the Agro of Barile, historically a true cru. The vineyard of Villa Rotondo is located at about 500 meters above sea level and is composed of old vines trained with the guyot method. The porous tuff soil retains winter rains, thus becoming an important reserve during the hot and dry summer months of Basilicata, while significant day-night temperature variations enhance the development of aromas. The ripening of Aglianico is slow and long, often harvested in November. The harvest is strictly manual in small boxes; the steel fermentation of the destemmed grapes continues with maceration for 15 days at 25/28°C, with periodic pumping over and punching down. The malolactic fermentation and aging, on the other hand, take place in new French origin barriques for 14 months, followed by 12 months in the bottle.
AGLIANICO DEL VULTURE ROTONDO PATERNOSTER: TASTING
The NAMEOFWINE is a deep and bright ruby red. On the nose it unfolds aromas of forest fruits, especially raspberry, blackberry and blueberry, then exotic spices and hints of coffee and cocoa, and also notes of China balsam, potpourri, medicinal herbs and a mineral rock and smoke. The palate is lively, fresh, powerful, with energetic tannic structure and great alcoholic generosity, marked sapidity and a very long finish. Excellent with Lucanian lamb or aged local pecorino cheeses.
