'La Firma' Aglianico del Vulture DOC Cantine del Notaio 2016

The Aglianico del Vulture "La Firma" represents one of the most famous and refined red wines produced by the Cantine del Notaio company. The latter has its headquarters in Rionero in Vulture, where the vineyards rise on the slopes of an extinct volcano, precisely called Vulture: in this area, the type of climate and clayey soil favor the cultivation of vines. A strictly biological method is used and synthetic products are therefore avoided in the vineyard and in the cellars. Thanks to this system, the wines take on a genuine and natural character. The Aglianico del Vulture "La Firma" is obtained from a pure Aglianico vine. The harvest takes place in the month of November: in this way, the tannin is left with the possibility of reaching an adequate degree of ripeness. The maceration of the skins and the must takes place in about 20 days; for the refinement, an operation that lasts a year, French oak barrels or tonneaux are used, inside volcanic tuff caves. The Aglianico del Vulture "La Firma" by Cantine del Notaio is a complex, structured, balanced wine in all its characteristics.
