Carato Venusio

Aglianico del Vulture superiore DOCG

Linea Premium

Top selection of the Cantina di Venosa, born from old vineyards of Aglianico on volcanic soils of the Vulture and from a plant sealing that concentrates aromas and structure. Long refinement in French and bottled oak brings complexity: dried violet, black fruit, licorice, incense and balsamic dinners. In the mouth is powerful but elegant, with velvety tannins and great persistence. From meditation and important table.
