The Aglianico IGP "Mito" produced by Dunsogno embodies the essence of the Campanian land, from which this distinguished indigenous grape variety originates. This wine is a triumph of distinctive characteristics that make it a notable example in its category.

The Aglianico "Mito" displays a deep, almost intense red color, which foretells the olfactory and taste complexity that distinguishes it. On the nose, it reveals aromas of ripe red fruits, including plum and cherry, enhanced by spicy hints and light notes of dark chocolate due to the aging in wood.

On the palate, Mito shows a robust but balanced structure, with finely interwoven tannins that provide a pleasant persistence. The freshness is well balanced by the alcohol, creating a rich and enveloping sip. Notes of ripe fruit blend with nuances of tobacco and leather, typical of Aglianico that has rested in wooden barrels, highlighting an intriguing complexity and a long persistence.

This wine pairs perfectly with dishes of grilled red meat, game, and aged cheeses. It is also ideal as a meditation wine, to be enjoyed slowly to savor every nuance.

Dunsogno's Aglianico IGP "Mito" symbolizes an excellent choice for those looking for a wine that expresses the winemaking tradition of southern Italy with a touch of modern refinement. With an aging potential that can extend for several years, it represents a valuable choice for wine lovers who wish to explore the depth and complexity of this noble grape variety.
