Aglianico is one of the oldest grape variety in the world, being introduced in Southern Italy by the Ancient Greeks about 3.000 years ago in what they called Enotria or Land of Wine. Today, its qualities are well recognized; for its elegance, ageing potential and complexity of its wines, it has been called “the Nebbiolo of Southern Italy”. The Cappellaccio Aglianico Riserva takes its name from the
thin and hard calcareous crust that is found at around 50 cm under the limestone soils of the Castel del Monte doc area and that has to be broken in order to allow vines to be planted. Cappellaccio Aglianico Riserva is a wine that fully expresses the outstanding characteristics of Aglianico.

Grape harvest, appropriately anticipated, gives to the product a good total acidity and so a relevant endurance in time. With a meticolous selection of grapes which are pressed softly just the free-run must or "mosto fiore", about the 30%, is used for the final product.
GASTRONOMIC PAIRING: it combines well with shellfishes and seafood-cooking, with tasty mediterranean first courses.

VARIETY INFORMATION
Susumaniello is a black grape variety native to Puglia and grown in Salento. The name suggests it is derived from the word "somarello", a term used in Apulian dialect. Traditionally the meaning expresses the
increased productivity of a plant weighted down by bunches, such as "a load carried by a donkey". After the first decade of the vine's life, the bunches of grapes are removed and its production lessens in quantity but improves in quality, producing wines of great expression.
PAIRING RECOMMENDATIONS
Seafood appetizers, risotto alla pescatora, tagliolini pasta with prawn tartare or meat tartare.
SERVING TEMPERATURE: 12-14° C

naturally free of disease and particularly suitable for the production of "natural" wines. Characterized by extensive flat areas and modest hilly reliefs, the Salento region is geologically constituted by a calcareous structure of medium texture.
