Very near the bottom of the Italian boot, between the heel of Apulia and Calabrian toe, you'll find the idyllic pastorals of Basilicata, a place of tantalizing gatronomy and bountiful harvests. Planted to the ancient ferrous soils of Mount Vulture, vineyards of Aglianico yield an animated red wine of savoury succulence, fleshy fruit flavours and meaty, stealthy tannins. The Aglianico Del Vulture are renowned amongst Italians as one of the finest regional reds in the land, destined to excite all enthusiasts of exquisitely balanced, satin textured old world wines.
Scarlet red robes. Morello cherries, dark olive and bay leaf nose, plums, meatyness and almond toast. A sensational palate of fawning tannins, wine jube flavours and piquancy of spice. Juicy plums and black bramble berries, sen sen, carob and coke, the richness and generosity make Pipoli the wine of choice for rich meats such as crackling pork, garlic game and lamb.
