Soil of a clay-limestone nature.
Cellar
The Società Agricola I Capitani is located in the municipality of Torre le Nocelle (Avellino), in contrada Bosco Faiano, amidst 12 hectares of beautifully exposed hilly land cultivated with vineyards and olive groves. The farm is dedicated to the production of noble wines and fine extra-virgin olive oil, as well as to offering simple but much-appreciated rural hospitality.
Today, as always, sustained by the desire and pride of handing down their father's craft, the aim of the company is to promote the image of Irpinia, a land rich in flavours, traditions and culture, through a project of careful attention to detail that aims to achieve perfection.
Description
The Guaglione wine from 'I Capitani' interprets Aglianico in the full vigour of its youth: strong character, intense colour, distinct fruity notes on the nose, pleasant tannicity on the palate. A wine as frank and sincere as only a young person knows how to be.
Organoleptic characteristics:
Colour: Ruby red with bright cherry notes.
Nose: Rich, persistent, with unmistakable hints of red fruits and violets, accompanied by notes of balsamic herbs and Mediterranean spices.
Taste Fresh, harmonious, lively, broad and round with mixed notes of berries and cherries. Elegantly tannic.
Storage time:
5-7 years
Vinification
From hand-picked grapes; after destemming, the must and skins undergo cold maceration and are then macerated at a controlled temperature (14-18° C) for a maximum of 7-8 days.
