Experience the unique character of the Irpinia region with the Aglianico Irpinia DOP 2020 from Cantina Sanpaolo. This wine is crafted from 100% Aglianico grapes, reflecting the distinctive terroir of Southern Italy. With an alcohol content of 14.00% Vol., this wine undergoes vinification in stainless steel and matures briefly in French oak barriques for four months, followed by bottle aging to enhance its fresh and pleasantly tannic flavor.
The Aglianico grape, a cornerstone of the Irpinia area, thrives under unique climatic conditions, producing wines with bold personalities. Our "Irpinia Aglianico DOP" is an elegant and sophisticated expression of this varietal. It offers a vibrant ruby red hue in the glass and exudes aromas of rose, violet, pepper, licorice, and minty notes. On the palate, it is fresh, dry, and robust, with tannins that promise longevity. This wine pairs excellently with flavorful pasta dishes, red meats, and cheeses.
