€13,90
Irpinia Aglianico DOC “Terra del Varo” is a red wine with an intense ruby red colour. On the nose it reveals aromas reminiscent of black cherry and blackberries, with light notes of black pepper and bitter cocoa, all on a pleasant background of sweet spices. On the palate it is soft, with elegant tannins, an aftertaste that recalls wild berries, black cherry and light spicy notes. A surprising taste that closes with a fruity finish.

Irpinia Aglianico DOC “Terra del Varo”: why we like it
The Irpinia Aglianico DOC “Terra del Varo” red wine is the result of the vinification of Aglianico (85%) and Merlot (15%) grapes. The vineyards are located between Taurasi, Luogosano and Sant’Angelo all’Esca at an altitude of 350 m a.s.l., an area which is characterized by a type of calcareous clayey soil with the presence of volcanic elements.
The grapes are harvested by hand and selected first in the vineyard and then in the cellar. After the destemming phase it is the turn of the cold pre-fermentation maceration and the alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature with maceration on the skins for about 10 days. Aging for 24 months in concrete tanks and at least 6 months in the bottle.
As far as food pairings are concerned, it matches particularly well with appetizers of cured meats and cheeses, pasta with sauces, roasted meat, dishes and pizzas made with savory sauces and condiments. Service temperature of 16-18°C.

Marco Uria –
Da appassionato di vini campani non potevo non provare questo aglianico della Tenuta Pepe e ha superato le aspettative. Un rosso ricco e avvolgente, con un equilibrio perfetto tra frutto e spezie. Il rapporto qualità-prezzo è davvero eccellente. Perfetto per una cena importante o da regalare agli amici intenditori. Sicuramente entrerà nella mia cantina!
Aurelio Martini –
Avevo già provato altri vini della cantina Cavalier Pepe, ma questo Terra del Varo ha qualcosa di speciale. L’aggiunta del merlot smorza la potenza dell’aglianico e lo rende più armonico. L’ho abbinato a un tagliere di formaggi stagionati e il risultato è stato spettacolare. Un vino equilibrato e piacevolmente persistente. Lo consiglio a chi cerca qualcosa di raffinato ma non troppo impegnativo. La spedizione è stata puntuale e arrivata ben protetta. Grazie e alla prossima!
