Paternoster ‘Synthesi’ Aglianico del Vulture DOC 2017

Taste

A vibrant ruby red in colour, it displays an ethereal, fragrantly fruity bouquet of blackberries, blueberries, wild berries and pepper. On the palate it is dry and velvety, with well-integrated tannins; it reveals great balance and a persistent aftertaste.

"Lifted aromas of red cherry, sun-baked earth and dried cranberry are straightforward yet delightful on the nose. There's polish to the rather light-bodied palate, where tart red-berry fruit pulses along. Tart acidity is the driver here, with a fine mesh of tannins riding in the background."

About the Producer

The small wine-growing region of Basilicata in the deepest south of Italy is surrounded by the regions of Puglia, Calabria and Campania and has only a small amount of coastline.  Since 1925 Paternoster has been one of the symbolic wineries of Basilicata, interpreter of a wine history of excellence. Aglianico, one of the most difficult grapes to cultivate, grown at altitude on the basaltic soils of Monte Vulture is capable of giving fine wines with great ageing potential. With the flourishing of the Italian wine industry since the 1980s, interest in viticulture in Basilicata has increased again, especially since with Aglianico a highly interesting grape variety beyond the mainstream can be shown. Today, just over 6,000 hectares are once again under vines, with Aglianico accounting for the largest share. Probably the best wine in the region is Aglianico del Vulture, which grows on lava rock on the slopes of an extinct volcano
