Vigna Vitrilli Grande Salento IGP Rosso

Apollonio

Vintage 1997

Enveloping aromas with notes of ripe red berries, cloves and plum jam. A captivating balsamic note can be felt during tasting. It has a powerful, well-bodied texture with firm tannins. A persistent finish with the same notes as the nose, and with elegant flavours of chocolate and leather that alternate between the notes of tobacco, spices and wood. Aftertaste is enriched by undertones of cacao and liquorice.

Food pairing: Meditation wine.

Serving temperature: 20°C

Recommended glass: As a long-aged, structured wine, a large bowl-shaped glass with an inward-curved rim is recommended: it can fully breathe, and the glass can be held better in hands better. It will help the temperature rise gradually, and aid in the release of the complex fragrances of more structured wines.

Ageing: 72 months in French oak barrels, 12 months in bottles.

Colour: ruby-red with garnet reflections.

Alcohol: about 15%.
