Irpinia Aglianico di Bellaria is a red wine of great character and elegance, a symbol of the production philosophy of the winery and the highest expression of the Aglianico grape. It comes from a careful selection of hand-picked grapes from ancient vineyards located in the Taurasi area, between Paternopoli and Montemiletto, regions suited for altitude, soil, and climate. The vinification takes place in steel, followed by malolactic fermentation and aging for at least 12 months in French oak barriques, which gives the wine structure and finesse. On the nose, it releases intense aromas of cherry, sour cherry, and sweet spices. The palate is rich, balanced, and persistent, with notes of cinnamon, vanilla, and a harmonious finish. With aging, it develops orange reflections and an increasingly profound bouquet. Perfect paired with roasts, game, lamb, and aged hard cheeses.
