WINE DESCRIPTION
Fontanavecchia Orazio is crafted in the Campania region of southern Italy, where the vineyard benefits from a Mediterranean climate with warm days and cool nights. This red wine is made from Aglianico grapes, known for their robust character and deep color. The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and undergo fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve their natural fruit flavors. The wine is then aged in oak barrels, which imparts subtle spice and structure. Fontanavecchia Orazio is designed to be a full-bodied wine with balanced acidity, suitable for pairing with hearty dishes.
