The Aglianico del Vulture "Nocte" by Terra dei Re is a red wine that embodies the character and depth of one of Italy's most intriguing wine regions, Basilicata. This wine is produced exclusively with Aglianico grapes, a variety that finds its fullest expression in this area due to the mineral-rich volcanic soil of Mount Vulture.
"Nocte" boasts an intense ruby-red color, which tends towards garnet as it ages. On the nose, it offers a complex and seductive bouquet with notes of ripe fruits such as plums and blackberries, enriched by hints of chocolate, coffee, and sweet spices, including vanilla and cinnamon, derived from aging in barriques.
On the palate, the wine is robust yet balanced, with well-integrated tannic structure and a vibrant freshness that prolongs its harmony and persistence. The flavors of black fruit blend with touches of tobacco and leather, leading to a long and pleasantly bitter finish.
Perfect to serve with hearty dishes such as roasted red meats, game, and aged cheeses, "Nocte" by Terra dei Re is also an ideal choice for reflection after a meal. It is advisable to decant the wine at least an hour before tasting to allow it to express all its nuances.
As a testament to the excellence of this Aglianico del Vulture, "Nocte" is often received by critics and the public as a representative example of Aglianico's potential, capable of competing on the world stage of great red wines. A collectible wine, which evolves magnificently over time, promising new facets of taste with a few years of aging in the cellar.
