Aglianico Campania "Sairus" MONTESOLE

Sairus Aglianico is the best resume of Vitis Hellenica, a millenial vine variety that has its roots in the ancient memories of Campania Felix, as testify the historical works of Marco Terenzio Varrone and Plinio il Vecchio. The grapes are selected annually and produce a complex wine that needs at least 4 years of aging.  Its vineyards are located in the heart of the area of Avellino. The manual harvest is planned at the end of October. The wine-making considers fermentation at controlled temperature and cooled maceration for 15days. The aging is developed in inox for 12 months, in wooden barrels for 36 and continues in the bottle for at least 6 months.
