WINE DESCRIPTION
I Capitani Jumara Irpinia Aglianico Campi Taurasini is a remarkable wine hailing from the sun-kissed hills of Irpinia, overlooking the Calore River valley. Produced by I Capitani, this Aglianico varietal thrives in clay-limestone soils, benefiting from the region's unique terroir. Cultivated using Guyot and cordon spur training methods, the vineyards yield a balanced production. Hand-harvested in late October, the grapes undergo destemming and a controlled fermentation on the skins for 7 to 10 days. The wine is then matured for 6 to 8 months in barriques and further refined in the bottle for at least 3 months. This meticulous process results in a well-structured wine with robust flavors, showcasing the elegance and depth characteristic of Aglianico from Campi Taurasini.
