WINE DESCRIPTION

Vini La Quercia Aglianico Puglia is a robust, fruity red made in the Puglia region, often referred to as the 'Heel of Italy'. The high elevation vineyards from which the Aglianico grapes come from, are planted on predominantly clay heavy soils. This helps retain moisture during the warm dry, growing season and allows Vini La Quercia to dry-farm the vines. The grapes are picked by hand, crushed and fermented in stainless steel vats, with the focus on light extraction to create wines that are immediately open and ready to drink in their youth.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Vini La Quercia Aglianico Puglia has medium to deep ruby color.The nose showcases the characteristic dark fruit flavors of blackberry and plum, along with hints of spice and licorice. On the nose, you can expect aromas of ripe black fruits, such as black plum and blackberry, accompanied by notes of tobacco. The palate is ripe and round, with well-integrated tannins and fresh acidity that help balance the ripe fruit profile. The finish is simple and modest in length, but pleasantly fruity.
