Irpinia Aglianico Trespadini

The Irpinia Aglianico is a red wine and was born as a fruity, full-bodied wine, which enhances the quality of this legendary vine, Aglianico, imported directly into Italy by the ancient Greeks and which today has conquered the areas of central and southern Italy. The soil in Irpinia is very particular and differs from the coastal areas as it is mainly composed of clay, a layer of limestone and some volcanic deposits, especially in the border areas with Lucania.
