Descrizione

Don Anselmo Aglianico Vulture Superiore DOCG 2012 from Paternoster is a red wine that reflects the maturity of its vintage. In the glass it shows a deep, clear ruby colour; on the nose it offers a restrained bouquet of ripe red fruit, light spice hints and a subtle earthy note that accompanies everything without excess. The palate is measured, with present but integrated tannins, a balanced structure and acidity that supports the sip, resulting in a coherent and fairly upright profile.

It suits savory dishes and meat preparations, matured cured meats and medium-aged cheeses; it can also stand up to rich sauces and roasts. Serve at a moderate cellar temperature, around 16–18 °C, and decant if you wish to open the aromas. The 2012 vintage indicates a degree of bottle evolution: those who prefer softer notes will find it ready, while those seeking further complexity may consider additional aging in the cellar.
