Vinified in steel and aged in oak barrels, an authentic expression of the Irpinia region, it displays a \u003cstrong\u003ecomplex aromatic profile\u003c\/strong\u003e with notes of plum, forest fruits, violet, and dried rose petals, enriched by hints of liquorice, coffee, and spices. On the palate, it reveals an \u003cstrong\u003eenveloping and soft structure\u003c\/strong\u003e, supported by fine, silky tannins leading to a long, spicy finish, marked by mineral and balsamic echoes. It pairs ideally with \u003cstrong\u003estructured first courses\u003c\/strong\u003e, pork, and flavourful cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from Mirabella Eclano, in the Avellino area, from vineyards situated at an altitude of between 420 and 460 metres above sea level. The vines take root in \u003cstrong\u003eclay and tuff soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, essential for giving the fruit great intensity and freshness. Grown using the spurred cordon system, the plants enjoy a \u003cstrong\u003etriple exposure\u003c\/strong\u003e (south-east, south-west, and north-west), which ensures balanced pedoclimatic conditions. Quintodecimo’s agricultural management focuses on \u003cstrong\u003elow yields\u003c\/strong\u003e to enhance the grape variety’s identity and the local area’s characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe process begins at the end of October with manual harvesting, careful selection of the bunches, and destemming. \u003cstrong\u003eSeparate vinification by parcel\u003c\/strong\u003e respects the characteristics of each individual section of the vineyard, with fermentation and maceration in steel at a controlled temperature for a period of 21–30 days. Malolactic fermentation takes place in oak barrels, starting an \u003cstrong\u003eeighteen-month ageing period in barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e that consolidates the wine’s harmony. The various parcels are finally combined into the \u003cstrong\u003efinal blend\u003c\/strong\u003e, which rests for a further six months before being released for sale.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and trivia\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result of Luigi Moio's vision, the Irpinia Aglianico Terra d’Eclano 2023 embodies the essence of five historic vineyards on the Quintodecimo estate. The vines, cultivated with low yields on clay and tuffaceous soils, benefit from a triple exposure. Enhancing the terroir of Mirabella Eclano, this red boasts \u003cstrong\u003eexceptional longevity\u003c\/strong\u003e, capable of evolving beautifully for up to twenty-five years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Quintodecimo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47684390355115,"sku":"62389","price":54.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/quintodecimo-irpinia-aglianico-terra-d-eclano-2023_62389_1_23059b89-1cea-47c9-a973-c4910b245679.webp?v=1788437739","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/products\/quintodecimo-irpinia-aglianico-terra-declano-2023","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
