Cantina del Taburno Aglianico Fidelis 2018
Cantina del Taburno is owned by the agricultural Consortium of
Benevento. The grapes vinified at the estate are grown in vineyards
within the towns on the slopes of Mount Taburno, located in the
north-eastern part of Campania. The hills with clay and calcareous-marl
soils, the mild winters, and the dry and warm summers all contribute to
prime conditions for grape-growing. The 2017 Fidelis is is a gorgeous
blend of 90% Aglianico, 5% Sangiovese and 5% Merlo - and it's 100% hard
to resist! A wealth of dark blackberries, red plums, and black cherries
is complemented by hints of clove and mint. It's soft-textured with ripe
fruit and juicy acidity. The wine dances on the palate, remaining
energetic and fresh, as savory umami and earth notes balance it out.
