The patient and meticulous work devoted to these crops means that, as if by magic, “Terre Stregate” produces wines and oils of excellence appreciated by all those who taste their products which are always rich in taste and fragrance.
Tasting note: The Aglianico is the grapevine that embodies wine farming in the region of Campania, always being grown in suitable areas. In the Campania region, the Aglianico shows an amazing adaptation to a variety of soils and environments, both on planes and hills, provided that it is located in a climate strip of the so called growing degree days. This is the main reason for its spread in southern Italy and the north side of Campania.
It is deep ruby red, intense and powerful to the nose, where hints of wild berries, raspberries, blackberries and black-cherries turn into hints of spiced cocoa, chocolate, cinnamon, pepper and vanilla, creating a sophisticated and refined bouquet. It is delicate and enjoyable to the mouth with an enveloping sensation that makes this wine powerful with a balanced taste.
Food Pairing: Recommended with pasta with tomato, grilled or roasted red meats, mature cheeses.
