Pietracupa Campania Aglianico Quirico opens with a fragrant nose of plums, black pepper and leather. The palate is structured with a dynamic mouthfeel, great flavour and a pleasantly tannic finish.
100% Aglianico. The fruit comes from Pietracupa's vineyards, which reach heights of up to 800 metres and has a south-eastern exposure. The soils are loamy and calcareous. The vines benefit from a microclimate with sufficiently high temperature fluctuations, which allows the grapes to ripen beautifully.
Ageing potential: long ageing potential.
From Barolo to Bordeaux, these wines are steeped in tradition. The style covers a broad spectrum of flavor profiles, but tend to be elegant and structured and can be cellared for a long time.
These wines often have savoury tones of earth, bell pepper, tobacco, cassis, and are often medium to full bodied, with long finish & structured palattes
WINES FROM UNIQUE REGIONS & BOUTIQUE WINERIES
Founded in 2019, we were bored with the typical Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Amarone & Moscato offerings at most bars & restaurants, and were inspired to dive deeper into the wine world!
