La Quercia Aglianico Puglia

A magnificent and beautifully expressive Southern Italian red wine displaying a deep red-purple color with intense violet tints. The plush, highly aromatic nose opens with an inviting bouquet of ripe black plums, wild blackberries, and sweet blueberries, masterfully layered with sophisticated notes of violets, sweet tobacco, damp earth, and clay. On the medium-to-full-bodied palate, it offers exceptional energy and a remarkably approachable, fresh texture, balancing its juicy core of pure dark fruit with a medium-plus acidity and a structural framework of soft, deftly managed tannins that lead into a long, plush, and wonderfully savory finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs flawlessly with grilled longhorn steaks, slow-braised lamb shanks, tomato-based pasta bakes, wild mushroom risottos, and medium-aged artisanal cheeses.
