La Fortezza Aglianico Riserva 2015
Aglianico del Taburno DOCG Riserva by La Fortezza winery is a grand cru of the winery. The wine is garnet-red colour, with intense scents of red fruits, spices and tobacco on the nose. On the palate the wine is warm and well-structured with soft tannins and black pepper aftertaste.
How is the wine made?
the grapes are harvested at the beginning of November, when the grapes are overripe so as to naturally soften the tannin, subsequently the grapes destined for the reserve are selected and vinified, after a short period of aging in steel the wine is aged in French oak barriques for a period of 24 months. At the end of aging in wood the wine is reassembled in steel and then it is bottled. After a refinement in the bottle of about 10 months the wine is put on the market.
