Introduction:
The 2019 Cantina del Taburno “Fidelis” Aglianico del Taburno DOCG is a deeply structured, age-worthy Aglianico from Campania. Rich in dark fruit and spice, it offers a compelling combination of intensity and finesse.

Terrior:
Sannio is an appellation just north of Naples. Its hillside vineyards have excellent sun exposure and well-drained soils composed of calcareous clay and sandstone enriched with volcanic elements. This unique combination of altitude, soil composition, and climate brings forth powerful, layered, expressive wines.

Tasting notes:
The 2019 Cantina del Taburno "Fidelis" is blended with 10% sangiovese and 5% merlot and spends time in a combination of traditional oak casks and seasoned barriques before bottling. It has aromas of black cherries, blackcurrants, and plums layered with tobacco leaf, licorice, earthy spice, leather, and dried herbs. The palate is full-bodied, with firm structure and dense tannins softened by time in the bottle. Flavors of blackberries, cassis, black tea, coffee, mocha, graphite, and spice unfold over a mineral core. The wine offers savory richness balanced by lingering acidity that carries it to a long finish.

Overall Impression:
A powerful and elegant Aglianico with aging finesse and regional clarity. Ideal with rich red sauces, lamb ragù, grilled meats, or aged hard cheeses. Drink now–2035 to enjoy its evolving complexity.
