Feudi di San Gregorio Rubrato Aglianico (750ml)

Made from Aglianico grapes from Irpinia, a region in the Avellino province of Campania, Southern Italy. It is a unique wine-growing area, where vineyards have always coexisted with fruit trees, woods, olive trees, and aromatic herbs.  The land is beautiful and a bit rugged with a continuous succession of mountains, hills, plains, interspersed with watercourses that create a microclimate that differentiates it from the rest of Campania.   The winters, although short, are harsh and snowy and the summers are mild and long.

Aglianico is known for making very tannic and long lived reds and is sometimes called the “Barolo” of southern Italy.  Much of the wine’s style however, depends on winemaking; in this case, the juice is fermented and rests for 8-1o months in stainless steel tanks and another 6 in bottle.   This shorter period of refinement and no oak treatment results is an Aglianico with bright primary fruit aromas and flavours and a focus on freshness.
