Aglianico has been one of the first vine grapes installed in our farm, in the far 1998. Our Aglianico is elegantly tempered tanks to the unique organic properties of our soil and to the plantation system in the freshest lots of our farm. Vinification is through gentle racking and soft crushing of the grapes. Alcoholic fermentation of the must is in stainless steel containers, while the secondary fermentation is on the rinds for 10/12 days. Finally racking, settling and decanting. About aging and refining, our Rintocco is refined partly in oak tasks, partly in steel containers for 7 months; it is bottled in springtime.

At the sight, it shows brilliant ruby red tones with a violet glare.
The aroma is of marasca cherry and raspberry scent, with final liquorices fragrance.
The flavor boasts a rare medium tannic structure and a unique roundness and sweetish taste. It closes with a precious sapidity.
