Lapilli Aglianico Beneventano

Lapilli wines come from the Avellino Province of Campagnia of Southern Italy. The volcanic layers of soil help to create stunning mineral-driven and memorable wines. The indigenous varietals here have had thousands of years of adaption, finding balance in volcanic soils, high altitudes and cooling Mediterranean breezes. Here, high altitudes help moderate the Mediterranean climate and allow the late-ripening Aglianico variety to mature on the vine well into November. Combined with the volcanic soils of the region, this native variety produces an age-worthy wine with complex flavors that develop over time. Fresh and ripe dark fruits such as blackberries, black cherries and plums with licorice and other subtle savory/spicy notes, like leather and pepper.
