Description
Luigi Tecce's Satyricon is made from 100% Aglianico from the Irpinia Campi Taurasini appellation. The vines average 25 years of age and are hand harvested as late as November. All grapes are fermented with native yeasts for 30 days in stainless steel tanks and raised for 12 months in 50 hectoliter botti, 10 months in stainless steel, and 6 months in bottle. The wine pours an opaque purple with aromas of sour black fruit, spice and earth. On the palate, floral flavors develop to support the dominating dark fruit and spice. This is a big and deep wine with a viscous texture, firm tannins and lots of fresh acidity.
