| TASTING NOTE: This wine is sourced from 100% Aglianico grown in 200-year-old vineyards on volcanic soils on the Campi Taurasi (\"fields of Taurasi\"). The area's ungrafted vines make it a modern oenological relic of a bygone era and a true rarity. Expect a wine with rich, impressive dark fruit framed by a well-balanced, integrated sweetness.
