Cantina di Solopaca, Aglianico Sannio 2022

Cantina di Solopaca’s Aglianico Sannio 2022 is a characterful red from Campania, made from one of southern Italy’s most celebrated native grapes. It combines Aglianico’s naturally spicy personality with a smooth, approachable texture, supported by maturation in large oak casks and further bottle ageing.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a bright ruby-red colour. Its expressive nose reveals ripe red fruit, with notes of strawberry and raspberry complemented by gentle spice. On the palate, it is dry, harmonious and velvety, offering balanced fruit and a pleasingly rounded finish. Thanks to its structure and oak maturation, the wine can develop additional softness and complexity over the next few years when properly stored. It is also ready to enjoy now, particularly if served with a little aeration.

Production
The grapes are hand-harvested and transported to the winery, where they are destemmed and gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks at controlled temperatures, with approximately 20 days of maceration on the skins and regular remontage to keep the skins in contact with the must. The wine then matures for at least six months in large oak casks before continuing its refinement in bottle.

Food & Serving
A natural match for red meat and game, this Aglianico also pairs well with richly seasoned dishes and mature, hard cheeses. Serve at approximately 16–18°C. Decanting is not essential, but 30 minutes in a decanter or a good swirl in the glass can help open up its ripe fruit and spice aromas.
