The Aglianico del Beneventano IGT from De Falco Winery acts as a spokesperson for the expressiveness and strength that the Beneventan soils lend to this noble grape variety. This wine, produced in one of the most authentic and characteristic areas of southern Italy, captures the essence of the local terroir with a surprising balance between power and finesse.

The color is intense and deep, a ruby red that promises a complexity of aromas that reveal themselves to the nose: notes of ripe red fruits like plum and blueberry, enriched by spicy nuances of dark chocolate and licorice, along with a light smoky touch derived from careful aging in wood.

On the palate, the Aglianico del Beneventano IGT from De Falco reveals a robust and well-balanced structure. Well-integrated acidity and mature tannins blend into a long-lasting and persistent taste experience. Dominating are the generosity of the red fruits combined with hints of wet earth and minerals, which testify to the genuineness and identity of the cultivation soil.

Ideal to accompany rich dishes such as roasted red meats, game, and aged cheeses, this wine enhances every culinary encounter thanks to its ability to substantiate the most intense and elaborate flavors. Furthermore, its aging potential makes this Aglianico an excellent candidate for welcoming into the cellar, evolving wonderfully over time.

Producing this wine requires passion, dedication, and a deep respect for nature and its seasons, principles that De Falco Winery has continued to honor over the years. Each sip of this Aglianico is a tribute to the land of Benevento and its unmistakable character.
