Description
Vinicola Del Sannio was established in 1960 by Pasquale Pengue in the Benevento region of Campania. An area rich in archaeological, historical and cultural practices. The soil content is predominantly alluvial in nature; clay, sand and volcanic elements due to the soils originating in the mountains between Matese and Taburno, washed down the valleys, over thousands of years by ancient rivers. The land consists of tufa, limestone & schist which attracts plenty of direct sunshine.
Grape Varieties: 100% Barbera
Vinification: The Barbera grape made in this wine is a native vine from the province of Benevento, obviously mistaken and or associated with the Piedmontese vine of the same name.
The grapes are ovoid in shape and have a good consistency. The must is macerated in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of about 22°C, for a period of 7 days to obtain the colour that distinguishes this wine and the exciting aromatic intensity.
Tasting Notes: In the glass intense purple red with aromas of red fruit and violets, Dry, full bodied, and moderate tannins.
Alcohol: 12.5%
Serving temperature: 16-18°C but can be served cooler similar to Pinot Noir
Ideal With: Lasagna, Parmigiana di melanzane or any baked meat filled pasta
