The Aglianico del Vulture “Grifalco” Organic DOC 2019 is a red wine that captures the essence of the Vulture region, where vineyards are scattered across the municipalities of Venosa, Maschito, and Forenza. Made from 100% certified organic Aglianico grapes, this wine is a product of vineyards that range in age from 10 to 30 years and are situated at altitudes between 450-550 meters above sea level. The grapes are meticulously hand-selected in the field and undergo a secondary selection in the winery, ensuring only the most phenolically mature berries are used. The wine is fermented in steel tanks at controlled temperatures, followed by aging in second-passage American and French oak barrels for 6 to 12 months. It is then further aged in steel until bottling, and finally spends at least 4 more months in the bottle before release.
The wine boasts an alcohol content of 13% and has a potential lifespan of 5 to 10 years. The meticulous production process results in a wine that is rich in complexity and depth. Soft destemming and fermentation at controlled temperatures allow the wine to maintain the integrity of the Aglianico grape, while the aging process in both American and French oak barrels adds layers of flavor and texture. The end product is a wine that is as complex as the lands it comes from, offering a harmonious blend of flavors and aromas that promise to evolve beautifully over time.
When it comes to food pairings, this wine’s complexity and depth make it a versatile choice. Whether you’re enjoying a hearty meat dish or a rich pasta, the Aglianico del Vulture “Grifalco” is sure to elevate your dining experience, making each bite and sip a journey through the rich and diverse terroirs of the Vulture region.
