Aglianico Zero 2020

Description

Still red, 14.5% ABV, produced by Tempa di Zoe in Campania. 100% Aglianico. 0.75L bottle, 2020 vintage. An Aglianico that expresses the essence of Cilento, with grapes grown in a unique terroir. Harvested by hand, 20% of the grapes are collected in special crates a couple of weeks before the main harvest and left to dry in the shade in a cool, ventilated old house. Fermentation occurs using spontaneous yeasts in an open vat after manual selection and destemming of the grapes. Aged for 3 years in 3,000-liter wooden barrels and another year in bottle. Plum and blackberry aromas supported by alcohol, black pepper and cocoa finish the nose. Deep ruby. The attack is soft, full of ripe fruit and jam, while the powerful alcohol warms and envelops the whole, with soft tannins and a savory freshness.

The name Tempa di Zoè does not only refer to a physical place but is above all a declaration of intent. The ‘tempe’, gentle hills that roll down to the sea, characterise the Cilento area from north to south.

Zoè is the Greek word that indicates the essence of life; the universal principle common to the animal, vegetable and mineral worlds. Read more
