Quintodecimo Irpinia Aglianico Terra d'Eclano 2023

Quintodecimo Terra d’Eclano 2023 is a refined expression of Aglianico from Irpinia, combining the grape’s natural depth with an elegant, polished style. Produced under the direction of renowned enologist Luigi Moio, it captures the character of Mirabella Eclano through restrained winemaking, long maturation and remarkably fine tannins.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby in colour, the wine opens with an inviting bouquet of plum preserve, violet and dried rose petals. Subtle spice and oak-derived nuances add further complexity without overshadowing the fruit. On the palate, Terra d’Eclano is generous yet poised, with a soft, fruit-driven texture and beautifully integrated tannins. The finish is long, spicy and layered, marked by a silky structure and impressive precision. Its balance and extended maturation make it enjoyable now, particularly after decanting, while also giving it the potential to develop further in bottle over the coming years.

Production
The Aglianico grapes are grown in Mirabella Eclano at 420–460 metres above sea level, on clay and tuff soils with south-eastern, south-western and north-western exposures. The vines are trained using cordon pruning with limited yields, encouraging concentration while preserving balance. Harvest takes place by hand towards the end of October, followed by careful selection and destemming. Fermentation and maceration are carried out in stainless-steel tanks for 21–30 days at controlled temperatures. Malolactic fermentation takes place in oak, followed by 18 months of maturation in wood and further bottle ageing before release.

Food & Serving
A versatile partner for rich pasta dishes, slow-cooked pork, grilled or roasted meats and mature cheeses. Serve lightly cool at around 16–18°C to highlight its freshness and fragrance. Decant for approximately one hour before serving, allowing the wine’s fruit, spice and fine tannins to come together more fully.
