Aglianico del Vulture DOC
It is the territory and the site of the vineyards that give the name to this high quality Aglianico bottle, typical of Vulture lands. Its scents and flavors retain all the passion and the work of the winemaker.
Grape variety: Aglianico del Vulture.
Area of production: contrada l’Iscone in the district of Ve-nosa, grapes are sourced from a parcel of Liscone vi-neyard with 30 years old vines.
Tasting notes: bright ruby red and elegant aroma with predominance of fruity and floral notes typical of the ag-lianico variety; the palate is characterized by its typical balanced tannins and lively freshness.
Serving: 17-18°C.
Alcohol Content: 13,00-14,00 %vol.
Winemaking: fermentation and maceration took place in small tank with delicate pumping over to break the cap. After malolactic fermentation the wine was put into a combination of used french tonneaux for about 8-12 months.
The 2017 Aglianico del Vulture Messer Oto opens slowly in the glass, with a delicate mix of black currants, savory herbs and hints of smoke forming its bouquet. This impresses with its purity of fruit and spry personality, as vibrant acids excite its saline-mineral tones and wild berry fruits. A gentle tug of sour citrus and tart raspberry lingers, as the Messer Oto finishes only lightly tannic and fresh.
