Irpinia Aglianico DOC “O’ Surs”: wihy we like it

This Irpinia Aglianico DOC “O’ Surs” red wine is obtained from pure Aglianico grapes coming from vineyards located in the municipality of Montemarano, in the Taurasi DOCG wine-growing area. The vineyards are trained with spurred cordon on clayey and basically calcareous soil with a density of approximately 3,000 plants per hectare.

The grapes are harvested by hand in boxes at the beginning of November, then transported to the cellar where they are selected. The maceration takes place with fermentation at an uncontrolled temperature with two daily pumping over and lasts for 10 days. The wine completes the refinement and maturation for approximately 3/4 months in 3rd/4th passage barriques and subsequently with assembly in steel tanks before completing the refinement in the bottle. The result is a wine with good structure and aromatic texture.

Its particular characteristics combine with typical regional first courses, Irpini appetizers based on cured meats, vegetables, pickles and soups. It is recommended to taste it in a large balloon at a serving temperature of 16°-18°C.
