Description

This wine offers a fresh and young version of a vine that is usually austere and dry. I like Caudium for this reason. It’s well suited for both: young and experienced palates and goes very well with a nice platter of cold cuts and cheeses.

Tasting

Made from Aglianico grapes and matured in used barrels for six months. The wine has a ruby colour that leans towards garnet and aromas of black cherry, blackberry and violet with hints of underbrush. The harmonious mouthfeel has young tannins and is sapid, fresh and pleasing.
