WINE DESCRIPTION
Azienda San Martino Siir Aglianico del Vulture is made from the local Aglianico variety, hailing from the Basilicata region located in the south of Italy. The vineyard is known for its volcanic soil, which adds a smokiness and marked mineral character to the wine. The vines are planted at high elevation which helps the grapes to retain freshness and acidity during the warm growing season. The wine is fermented before undergoing a period of ageing of around 6-12 months in French oak barrels of varying sizes. Finally, the wine is transferred to steel vats where it is allowed to homogenise prior to bottling.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Azienda San Martino Siir Aglianico del Vulture has a deep ruby hue with heavy staining of the tears, suggesting a wine of significant weight and extraction.The nose bursts with a bouquet of ripe dark fruits, such as blackberries and plums, accompanied by hints of licorice and star anise. The wine is full-bodied and well-structured with firm tannins that help frame the flavors of black cherries, blackcurrants, and licorice. These fruit flavors are accompanied by subtle notes of tobacco and leather add complexity and depth on the long and lingering finish.
