WINE DESCRIPTION
I Capitani Guaglione Irpinia Aglianico is a robust and characterful red wine from the Irpinia region in Campania, Italy, made from the indigenous Aglianico grape. Known for producing some of southern Italy's most powerful red wines, Aglianico thrives in the volcanic soils and high-altitude vineyards of the Irpinia appellation, which contribute to its structure and complexity. The wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel followed by aging in oak barrels, enhancing the wine’s depth and smoothness.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Guaglione Aglianico presents intense aromas of ripe black fruits, such as black cherries and plums, intertwined with earthy, smoky notes and hints of leather and spice from its oak aging.On the palate, it is full-bodied, with well-structured tannins and a bold flavor profile of dark fruit, tobacco, and a touch of cocoa.
