Cantine Del Notaio Il Sigillo Aglianico Del Vulture

The Aglianico del Vulture Il Sigillo by Cantine del Notaio is a DOC red wine produced in the lush territory of Vulture in Basilicata, a land of volcanic origin rich in mineral elements and tuff layers. Il Sigillo is a garnet red with great structure produced with 100% Aglianico grapes, with a rich and elegant flavour. The vineyards of the Cantine del Notaio winery are distributed in various municipalities of the Vulture at an altitude of 460/480 meters above sea level with an exposure to the east. The harvest is carried out by hand in the period between the end of November and the beginning of December, when the fruits are about to dry due to the intense cold, an innovative technique developed by the Cantine del Notaio which interrupts the tradition of harvesting Aglianico in the autumn months. The Sigillo maturation process is carried out in natural volcanic tuff caves for a period of 24 months, helping to form deep, sweet notes with a light sugary aftertaste. Before being sold, the Sigillo is bottled and left to age in the bottle for another 24 months. On the nose it is characterized by persistent references to dried fruit, juniper berries and rosemary.
