Di Majo Norante - Aglianico Riserva "Sassius" DOC 2017
Category: Red, Dry, Still
Grapes: 100% Aglianico
Alcohol: 15%
An intense dark ruby red color
Complex on the nose with aromas of mature red and black fruits as marasca, ripe cherry, black cherry and elder fruits. Aromas are followed by hints of leather, licorice, mentholated tobacco, eucalyptus and cacao powder, delivering scents of dried rose, violet and spices like black pepper, coriander and nutmeg.
On the palate, the wine is very rich, with soft tannins well balancing the acidity and body. It offers a lingeringly persistent finish.
This wine results in an extraordinary complex structure.
Food Pairing:
Sassius goes well with game, mature cheese and cold cuts.
Excellent with beef tagliata with aromatic herbs and with stuffed pork stew with dried plums.
