Luigi Tecce 'Satyricon' Aglianico 2020 | Campania, Italy

A bold and richly flavoured red from the volcanic soils of Campania.

Producer: Luigi Tecce

Region: Paternopoli - Irpinia, Avellino, Campania, Italy

Grapes: Aglianico 

Perfumed on the nose, with ripe cherry and dark berry fruits, warming spices, and sweet floral notes.

Taken up a notch in flavour, fresh and juicy fruits - red and dark cherries, blueberry, blackberry, plum, and currants - cinnamon and sweet oak spices, mineral-rich earth.

The palate is smooth and enveloping, yet still lively, rich and weighty in texture, grippy-chewy tannin with a a touch of mineral acidity for balance. Finishes long, with the fruit falling away to reveal a mouthwatering mineral current.
