Description
 
Producer: Lelusi
Vintage: 2005
Region: Basilicata
Sub-Region: Aglianico del Vulture DOC
Varietal: Aglianico del Vulture (100%)
Lelusi created this wine to stand out from the other Aglianicos on the market. The creative process involved a long maceration period of the must with the skins. After fermentation, the wine was put into the new French oak barriques to undergo malolactic, or secondary fermentation. Once the malolactic fermentation was completed, the wine was transferred once again into additional new lightly toasted French oak barriques. Their goal in this process was to enhance a purer, cleaner wine where the typical characteristics and aromatic components of Aglianico del Vulture can be preserved with their natural tannins instead of the extreme contrast from the tannins of the barrique. In this way, they create an equilibrium between tradition and modernity is reached. The wine is dark ruby red color with dark fruit, spicy, and balsamic aromas. The taste is full-bodied with a complex structure and persistence. This is not a wine you will want to drink by itself. Pair with lamb, game, and strong cheese.
