Fattoria La Rivolta Simbiosi 2019 Beneventano Rosso IGT

A 2019 Beneventano Rosso IGT from Fattoria La Rivolta, made from 85% Aglianico and 15% Piedirosso. The grapes are picked around mid-October and fermented in stainless steel for 20 to 25 days at a controlled 27 degrees. Ageing lasts 12 months in both barrique and tonneau, followed by six months in bottle. The colour is a deep, impenetrable ruby. The nose is intense, with ripe fruit followed by cinnamon, liquorice and black pepper. The palate is medium-bodied and harmonious, with a firm tannin that stays gentle on the gums. It suits game, wild boar stew and mature cheeses.
