Description

The Aglianico Del Vulture DOCG - Divinus from Terra dei Re winery is one of the enological jewels of the Basilicata region. This wine is the result of a careful selection of Aglianico grapes, a variety that finds in the volcanic terroir of Mount Vulture the ideal conditions to express its unique character.

Divinus is a wine of great structure and complexity, which presents itself in the glass with an intense ruby red color, tending to garnet with aging. The nose is caressed by a rich bouquet of aromas, where notes of ripe red fruits, plum, along with nuances of spices, leather, and tobacco stand out, a result of the long aging in barriques.

On the palate, Divinus reveals itself to be powerful yet balanced, with a clearly present yet refined tannic texture, and an acidity that ensures freshness. The flavors of black fruit, dark chocolate, and vanilla blend into a long and persistent finish, inviting one to sip slowly to appreciate all its nuances.

Aged for at least 18 months in wood and subsequently refined in the bottle, this Aglianico del Vulture DOCG is a wine that can be enjoyed today, yet it also has excellent aging potential. It pairs perfectly with intense dishes such as roasts, game, and aged cheeses, enhancing every dish with its robust presence.

The Aglianico Del Vulture DOCG - Divinus from Terra dei Re is an excellent choice for lovers of intense and structured wines, representing an outstanding example of Lucanian winemaking and the passion this winery pours into every bottle.
