Description
In a nutshell:
A smooth and complex Italian red from the hills of Campania east of Naples.
The lowdown:
This quite full bodied red is made entirely from Aglianico, a grape variety that thrives in this part of Campania. It's grown on poor volcanic soils at around 500 metres above sea level. While mostly matured in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh primary flavours a small proportion was aged in American oak barriques. It's full of smoky, ripe black fruit flavours with a touch of cassis and herbs making it a quite intense and layered red. The oak ageing lends a subtle vanilla influence and gives it a nicely rounded structure.
The Producer:
Situated in the Irpinian hills inland from Naples, Vesevo, produce a delicious range of local Campania specialities overseen by winemaker Antonio Melone. The Campania area is one of the Italy's oldest wine regions and has over 25,000 hectares of vines. Vesevo's vineyards are between 450 and 550 metres above sea level and benefit from cooling breezes from the Bay of Naples. The soils in the area have a poor, volcanic character influenced by the ash blown in from the nearby Mount Vesuvius.
When to drink:
Its a wine that can quite happily be drunk on its own, buy it also goes really well with things like barbecued lamb, or even a mushroom risotto.
