Tasting Notes

Endowed with an attractive ruby red colour, at times impenetrable. A rare unique bouquet of black cherries, sour cherries and sour black cherries, enhanced by recollections of medicinal herbs and reminiscences of rust, undergrowth and burnt wood. Opulent and compelling on the palate, it is warm and spicy with long persistence.

Pairing

Requires tasty foods with robust flavours. Excellent with spicy oven baked mutton.

Aglianico del Taburno Riserva DOC “Vigna Cataratte” 2008 - Fontanavecchia: Why we like it

It maintains an indomitable character which however with time finds a point of balance with evolved complex organoleptic aromas. Aglianico del Taburno Riserva DOC “Vigna Cataratte”, from the Fontanavecchia winery ages for about four years including 14 months in barriques. It is a wine that must absolutely be considered one of the great reds, also excellent for sipping as a meditative wine, perhaps in front of the fireplace on cold winter’s evenings.
