FANPGF
Grape variety: 60% Greco & 40% Fiano
Tasting notes: The grapes were chilled on arrival at the winery, gently crushed and fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine remained in tank until bottling to maximise freshness. Pale lemon in colour, with perfumes of citrus and a touch of stone fruit. Rich yet fresh with a lime zest character, which comes from the Greco fruit, balancing the richness.
Award: Mundus Vini 2022 - Gold Medal

Grape Variety: 100% Aglianico
Winemaking Process: The vineyards belonging to this estate are superb; low-trained and planted on the volcanic soils of the slopes of Mount Vulture at altitudes of up to 800 metres above sea level. On arrival at the winery the grapes were destemmed and gently crushed then the must fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks at temperatures up to 30-32°C. Frequent, gentle pumping over took place during fermentation and maceration which lasted approximately 30 days.
Tasting Notes: Bright red with violet reflections. This wine has a strong aromatic integrity with hints of cherry and sour black cherry mixed with spice and vanilla. Good structure, long and balsamic finish, mature tannins and persisting aftertaste.
Food Pairing: Best served at 16-18 degrees celsius. Pairs well with spicy curry with lamb, goose breast with gingery red cabbage and marjoram or leek tortillas.
