Description

Aglianico Vulture Superiore DOCG - Don Anselmo - Magnum - Paternoster is an enological excellence born in the volcanic area of Vulture, in Basilicata. This wine, made from selected Aglianico grapes, intensively expresses the character of the territory: volcanic terroir, altitude, and cool climate confer complexity and structure to the product.

After a carefully controlled fermentation, the aging takes place in large wooden barrels, which enhance notes of ripe cherry, plum, and light spicy nuances, accompanied by an elegant background of aromatic herbs and earth. The tannin is robust but well polished, with a remarkable balance between freshness and alcoholic warmth.

On the palate, it is full and enveloping, ideal to accompany red meats, roasts, and aged cheeses. The Magnum format adds longevity value, allowing this Aglianico to further develop over time, revealing new complexities with every sip.
