Aglianico
FANAD
Region: Italy, Basilicata, Acerenza, PZ
Grape Variety: 100% Aglianico
Winemaking Process: The vineyards belonging to this estate are superb; low-trained and planted on the volcanic soils of the slopes of Mount Vulture at altitudes of up to 800 metres above sea level. On arrival at the winery the grapes were destemmed and gently crushed then the must fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks at temperatures up to 30-32°C. Frequent, gentle pumping over took place during fermentation and maceration which lasted approximately 30 days.
Tasting Notes: Bright red with violet reflections. This wine has a strong aromatic integrity with hints of cherry and sour black cherry mixed with spice and vanilla. Good structure, long and balsamic finish, mature tannins and persisting aftertaste.
Food Pairing: Best served at 16-18 degrees celsius. Pairs well with spicy curry with lamb, goose breast with gingery red cabbage and marjoram or leek tortillas.

FANVA
Region: Benevento, Italy
Grape Variety: 100% Aglianico
Tasting Notes: Deep red with violet reflections. Complex and intense, red fruit with clear notes of spice and vanilla. Slightly tannic, tannins are firm and smooth, clean and dry on the finish. A dark, brooding wine with rich aromas of chocolate, mocha and ripe black cherries. The intense, savoury palate balances the weighty fruit with the ripe, supple tannins beautifully and finishes on a long, smoky, chocolate note.
Food Pairing: Best served at 16-18 degrees celcius. Pairs well with grilled steak, lamb shanks, osso buco, meat ragu, pasta with tomato sauce and aged cheeses.
