FANPD
Grape Variety: 100% Aglianico
Tasting Notes: A dense and tarry red that glides on the silky palate, with mouthwatering acidity framing flavours of blueberry puree, chocolate covered cherry, vanilla, dried thyme and oak spice. An expressive version in a modern style, yet refined and harmonious overall, with the grippy finish echoing the ripe fruit and tarry mineral character.
Food Pairing: Pairs well with dishes made with meat and seasoned cheeses, easily drinkable at any time of the day.

Food Pairing: A lush white with striking tropical notes that would be great with a peach and burrata salad though it has the freshness to make a fine aperitif too.
