WINE DESCRIPTION
Cantine del Notaio Il Preliminare is a premium wine produced by the renowned Italian winery Cantine del Notaio. This wine is made from Aglianico grapes grown in the volcanic soils of the Vulture appellation in Basilicata, Italy. The vineyards are located at high altitudes, which results in a slow ripening process and a unique flavor profile. The winemaking process involves a careful selection of grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a full-bodied red with intense aromas of dark fruit, spices, and a hint of vanilla. The tannins are firm yet elegant, making it a perfect pairing for hearty meat dishes. Overall, Cantine del Notaio Il Preliminare is a must-try for wine enthusiasts looking for a high-quality Italian wine with a unique character.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This is a bright and zesty Italian white blend from the Campania region of Italy.On the nose, it has notes of citrus and white flowers, while on the palate, it has vibrant acidity and flavors of lemon, green apple, and fresh herbs. The finish is fresh and mineral-driven, with a touch of salinity. An enjoyable and refreshing white that pairs nicely with seafood dishes.
