ITALY
Aglianico del Taburno
Named for winemaker Lorenzo's father, the grapes behind this riserva are hand-harvested from a single, 2 hectare vineyard of old vines. Harvest takes place in late October through November, with vinification done in stainless steel, followed by 12 months of aging in barrique and 6 months under 500 liter French casks.
After 12 months in bottle, the wine is released, revealing a captivating harmony of dried berries, black cherry, baking spice and dark mineral accents.
