Aglianico del Vulture Superiore DOCG Elsi is a red wine of extraordinary personality, the ultimate expression of the "Barolo of the South." Produced from grapes grown on the volcanic slopes of Mount Vulture, it displays an impenetrable ruby red color that evolves toward garnet. With a 14% alcohol content, it offers a complex olfactory range featuring ripe black fruits, morello cherry, and delicate notes of black pepper, chocolate, and tobacco derived from skillful aging. On the palate, it is warm, austere, and powerful, supported by a dense and noble tannic texture that leads to a persistent and savory finish. It is the ideal companion for hearty dishes such as braised meats, grilled red meats, game, and aged cheeses.

Ingredients

Aglianico grapes, sulfites.
