The Aglianico IGT del Beneventano is a noble and proud red wine, structured and obtained from 100% Aglianico grapes.
On the nose, it is clean, broad, and complex, with clear notes of cherry and berries with hints of spice and vanilla.
On the palate, it is elegant, full, savory, persistent, and long, with pleasant recalls of cherry, plum, and spice on the finish. It pairs perfectly with roasted red meats and aged cheeses.
