Description
Information
Tasting Note
Bright, deep ruby red; on the nose it displays a broad, complex bouquet, with notes of red fruits, leather, balsamic herbs and dark spices. On the palate it is dry and potent, with great structure and elegance and an extremely long finish.
Serving Suggestions
A fine wine for roasts, particularly of lamb and red meats; it is also an excellent “meditation wine”.
Origin
4 hectares in the commune of Barile, in the hamlet of Gelosia. 50 year-old vines (Paternoster’s historical and ampelographic heritage) lying at 600 meters above sea level; very low yields (3,500-4000 kg per hectare).
Grapes
Aglianico del Vulture 100%
Vinification and Maturation
The grapes are picked by hand; classic red wine fermentation. Fermentation and maceration on the skins in stainless steel for 15-18 days at 25°-28°C with pumping over 3 times a day until ¾ of the fermentation is complete, followed by délestages. Maturation in large Slavonian oak casks for 50% and in French barriques (used once previously) for the remaining 50% for 24 months. Bottle-aging for 12 months.
