WINE DESCRIPTION
Venosa Verbo Aglianico del Vulture is a powerful and intense wine. The grapes are harvested by hand in the early hours of the morning and immediately transported to the winery where vinification takes place in small fermenters and skin maceration at a controlled temperature from 23° to 26° C. Fermentation and malolactic conversion is completed in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for approximately 12 months. This aglianico has a vinous bouquet of dried currants and baking spices. The palate is dry, savory and persistent with a lingering finish.
