FEUDI Piano di Montevergine Taurasi, Feudi di San Gregorio 2001 Grape Varieties 100% Aglianico Food Matching Note: An inspired choice to accompany game and roasted red meat. Delicious with a venison and pheasant, stout braised pie or ham and pea risotto. Tasting Note: Brilliant ruby red in colour with a garnet tinge around the rim. Shows deliciously fragrant aromas of black cherry, cinnamon and nutmeg, vanilla and anise. Full bodied and rich with a plump mid-palate and balancing structure to the black fruit and spice flavours. Finishes dry and assertive with lingering vanilla oak flavours. Vinification Note: Made from 100% Aglianico sourced from vineyards within the Taurasi, Pietradefusi and Sant’Angelo all’Esca regions with deep volcanic ash deposits with clayey, sandy and alluvial elements under a surface bed rich in humus. Harvesting is by hand during the last ten days of October, the whole bunches are de-stemmed and crushed, then macerated on the skins for 10-12 days during fermentation which is in steel at a controlled temperature of 26°. Malolactic fermentation is then encouraged and the wine is aged in new French barriques with a medium toast for 18 months. Find this wine at www.winestore.co.uk Price: £44.38 (Including VAT at 20%)
