Cantine di Marzo 2015 Irpinia Aglianico DOC Campania Italy
In 1647 Scipione di Marzo fled his hometown of San Paolo Belsito located near the town of Nola. He settled in Tufo where he built his winery. One of the oldest family owned wine business in Italy.
Irpinia DOC Aglianico is a red wine from Campania, Italy's Avellino wine province. Aglianico is a black grape native to Southern Italy, the most representative red wine from Campania. The volcanic soils of Irpinia, a district in the province of Avellino, are porous limestone soil that is of volcanic origin.
This is a rich and intense wine, with a complex array of aromas including red and black fruits, plum, spice and herbs. Beautiful smokiness, dry rose, white pepper, mineral. Though full in body with a long, velvety finish, this is a very approachable Aglianico, and undoubtedly a great value.
2015 was a great vintage and the complexity in incredible. Only 500cs produced. MUST TRY with aged cheeses.
