Description
This current release of L’Archetipo’s Aglianico is a lesson in elegance. Coming from high altitude vineyards, this wine retains a freshness and lean character not very common for this grape variety. The 6+ years of aging have also softened the tough tannins that Aglianico can sometimes exhibit. The result is pure luxury. A rustic yet precise wine in its absolute prime.
The grapes are destemmed and fermented in steel tanks. After a soft maceration of 30 days, the grapes are pressed and the wine is returned to steel where it stays on its fine lees for two years. The wine is then transferred to a 5,000L barrel for around eighteen months prior to bottling. No additions throughout vinification and elevage. Bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with a small sulphite addition.
