Irpinia Rosso DOC “Sanserino”: why we like it

The “Sanserino” red wine is the result of the vinification of 70% Aglianico and 30% Sangiovese grapes, grown in the Tenuta’s vineyards. It is a light, lively and aromatic red wine to drink slightly chilled. The vineyards are located in the hilly area of ​​the municipalities of Luogosano, S’Angelo All’Esca and Taurasi, at an altitude of 300 m a.s.l., characterized by a silty and sandy soil type and a frequent presence of limestone and volcanic elements.
