Wine Description:
Giornata French Camp Vineyard Aglianico is a robust expression of the Aglianico grape, originating from southern Italy and thriving in the warmth of Paso Robles AVA's French Camp Vineyard. Situated in one of Paso Robles' warmest sections, this Aglianico block benefits from slow ripening, preserving remarkable freshness and acidity at lower sugar levels. Harvested last in the season, the thick-skinned Aglianico yields brooding dark fruit flavors early in fermentation, gradually revealing nuanced floral and spice aromas. With native fermentation in neutral French oak, this 100% Aglianico showcases the grape's intensity and Paso Robles terroir, making it a distinctive and memorable Central Coast offering.
