Basilisco Aglianico del Vulture Superiore Fontanelle 2017

Still organic red Aglianico del Vulture Superiore, 2017 vintage, 14% ABV, produced by Basilisco. This wine is made in the heart of Basilicata, in Barile to be precise, from 100% Aglianico grapes grown at 500 meters above sea level. The winery, founded in 1992, is led by Viviana Malafarina, who oversees every stage of production with passion and expertise. Fermentation and maceration in steel tanks for approximately 25 days, followed by aging for 12 months in French oak barrels. The color is intense and ruby, with a nose that evokes sensations of freshly ripe black and red fruit and sweet spices such as cinnamon and incense. The palate is rich on the palate but refined on the finish, with lingering sweet spices and licorice.
