Tasting Notes

Vibrant, glowing ruby red colour and a generous, complex nose with distinct hints of morello cherry and echoes of vanilla, with a warm, spicy finish. A truly strong personality for a wine with amazing balance and silky tannins, that linger but in just the right measure.

The Producer

Re Manfredi was established in 1998, in the heart of Aglianico del Vulture DOC wine country, just a few kilometres from Venosa, the little town famous as the birthplace of Latin poet Horace in 65 BC.A smart, welcoming farmhouse is the centre of the estate, which has 100 and more hectares of Guyot and spurred cordon-trained vines.

Next to the farmhouse is Andrea Autino’s state-of-the-art, dynamic Terre degli Svevi winery,with its own modern winemaking facility and a prestigious barrel cellar for ageing its wines.

Vinification

Pre-fermentation maceration of the clusters at 5 °C for 10 days, followed by fermentation with native yeasts for 10–15 days, at a temperature of 26 °C. Post-fermenting maceration of 7-10 days. Having undergone malolactic fermentation in first and second passage barriques the wine is returned there after racking to age for 14-18 months. After ageing and before being bottled, the wine is aged for a further 12 months in barrels. As set down in the regulations, the wine is bottle aged for one more year before being put on the market.
