2007 Montevina Aglianico

Our smallest varietal production, the 2007 Montevina Aglianico is always a fan favorite. Aromas of dark, ripe fruit engage the senses with dep, earth complexity speaking to the varietal’s ancient roots. Powerful flavors of ripe black cherry, tobacco and cranberry finish long and lush.

The Montevina Aglianico was harvested and crushed directly into macro-bins for fermentation. The bins were punched down by hand four times daily to facilitate copious extraction of flavors while managing tannic pick up. Appropriate to its ancient roots the 2007 Aglianico was bucketed into a half ton hand-cranked wood basket press and sent directly to predominantly American small oak barrels for aging.
