Villa Raiano Irpinia Aglianico DOC
Villa Raiano / San Michele di Serino, Irpinia, Campania, Italy
The Elegantly Structured Irpinia Workhorse
Deep ruby-red with brilliant garnet undertones. The nose presents a complex, aromatic core of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, violets, crushed black pepper, and subtle hints of earthy cocoa and spice. Medium-to-full-bodied on the palate, featuring structured yet polished tannins, vibrant volcanic acidity, and a long, savory, and refined finish.
⭐⭐ (Thoughtfully vinified with balanced extraction; structured enough to demand food and water, but clean on the palate).
Braised meats, regional ragù, grilled lamb chops, or medium-aged cheeses.
