Description
What kind of wine it is
Aglianico del Vulture Taglio del Tralcio by Re Manfredi is a red wine with Denomination of Controlled Origin from Basilicata, characterised by its powerful nature and pronounced smoothness. This expression of the Aglianico grape stands out for its fresh taste, supported by silky tannins that pleasantly envelop the palate. On the nose, it offers aromas of plum, black cherry and persimmon, enriched by elegant balsamic nuances. Tasting reveals a dense and fleshy structure with a long and rounded finish, making it ideal to pair with red meats and mature cheeses.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Basilicata, in the heart of Vulture, specifically in the area of Venosa. The vineyards are situated at around five hundred metres above sea level, with deep roots in volcanic soils. This particular geological matrix is the distinguishing feature of Aglianico del Vulture, capable of imparting a marked vigour to the sip. The altitude and soil composition work in synergy to define a distinct aromatic profile, where fruity notes intertwine harmoniously with balsamic hints, offering a faithful expression of its territory of origin.
How it is produced
Production involves the particular technique of cutting the cane, carried out when ripening is complete. This intervention interrupts the sap flow, inducing a natural dehydration of the bunches on the vine for several days; the process allows the aromas to concentrate and encourages a significant softening of the tannins. After manual harvesting, the grapes undergo a ten-day cold maceration before fermentation. Ageing takes place in barrels for six months and concludes with an equal period of bottle ageing, giving the wine great depth and impeccable harmony.
History and Curiosities
Born in Venosa on high-altitude volcanic soils, this red offers a modern take on Aglianico del Vulture. Its secret lies in the vine shoot cutting, a practice that interrupts the flow of sap to the bunches, initiating a natural withering process on the vine. This process enhances the aromas of ripe fruit and ensures silky tannins with great smoothness. Carefully tended from manual harvesting to ageing in wood and glass, the wine releases a fleshy structure and a fresh taste, harmoniously combining deep respect for tradition with a youthful profile.

| Origin | Venosa (PZ) |
| Climate | Altitude: 500 m a.s.l. |

| Harvest | When the grapes are ripe, this particular technique called "cane cutting" is carried out, which involves cutting the fruit-bearing cane to interrupt the flow of sap between the roots and the bunches. Thanks to this specific and natural dehydration process, which lasts a maximum of 7 to 10 days, the grapes undergo a slight withering that leads to a concentration of ripe fruit aromas and a softening of the tannins. |
| Production technique | Cane cutting (light natural drying of the grapes for 7 0 days) |
