Colli di Salerno

The red-grape harvest here, at 200m on clay and limestone soils, occurs about a month earlier than in Irpinia. This wine is fermented in stainless steel, aged in barriques for 24 months, then blended in stainless steel before two years of bottle ageing. Toasty notes of coffee, leather, earthy cassis, blond tobacco and salted cioccolato di Modica. Complex, deep, broad and relaxing on the palate, with rustic tannins and a chewy finish. Funky notes do not penalise the wine’s quality, in my opinion, but contribute to its authenticity.
