Region: Campania, Italy
Vinification: From the Producer: Irpinia is a hilly part of Campania , and like most of this coastal region, it's a volcanic terroir that produces some pretty great wine, much of it from Aglianico, a rustic grape that can get super chewy and tannic with frequent pump-overs or too much oak. But the type that we want to drink, and that the locals actually do drink, are ones like our friend 'Don Giovanniโ here, which trades the oak and excessive manhandling for gentle treatment in stainless steel and big, old wood casks, resulting in juice that fresh, pure and ready to drink now, with cherry, wild berry, warm spices and brilliant acidity. So perfect with all kinds of pasta (especially one with fresh ricotta or eggplant + mozzarella) and pizza. Give it a slight chill (30 minutes) before popping.
