{"product_id":"piano-del-cerro-aglianico-del-vulture-doc","title":"Piano del Cerro Aglianico del Vulture DOC","description":"This wine is an explosion of flavor and a revelation. Its tamed tannins and richness make it a perfect companion for hearty braised dishes like veal cheeks with red cabbage and dumplings. But it\u0026#39;s also an excellent wine for contemplating cold winter evenings. In the glass, the Riserva displays a deep black color with reddish reflections. On the nose, the Aglianico is very full and spicy. Aromas of tobacco and leather complement vanilla notes from the barrel aging. These are joined by fruity aromas of black cherries and blackberries. On the palate, the wine is very intense with full-bodied, yet almost velvety tannins. The acidity, typical of the variety, is very well integrated and supports the spicy aromatics, while the balsamic notes come to the fore. The town of Acerenza lies in the heart of Basilicata, in the Aglianico del Vulture growing region, approximately 150 km east of Naples. This is the home of the young winery Vigneti del Vulture, which emerged from the collapse of a local cooperative. The meticulously maintained vineyards lie at an altitude of up to 80 meters above sea level, and primarily cultivate local grape varieties. The \u0026quot;Piano del Cerro,\u0026quot; made entirely from the local Aglianico grape (the Barolo of the South), is a prime example. After careful harvesting, destemming, and hand-sorting, the must is fermented or macerated in wooden vats for 5-6 months. The wine is then pressed and aged for 15 months in French oak barriques. Following this extended maturation period, the wine is bottled and rests for a further 12 months in the bottle to harmonize and mature.
