Description

"Petravia" Aglianico Puglia IGT 2018 / Masseria Altemura / Apulia

Red wine from Italy

The Masseria Altemura winery is located in the rural area of Torre Santa Susanna and Oria, in the heart of the Salento peninsula between Taranto on the Ionian Sea and Brindisi on the Adriatic Sea. The landscape is characterized by its Mediterranean character, in which light, wind and sea combine in a special alchemy to form an inimitable whole. The company owns 130 hectares of vineyards planted with autochthonous grape varieties. Because the goal of Masseria Altemura is to carry the authenticity of the wine-growing tradition of Salento to the world and at the same time to give their wines the expression of their region of origin.

The Aglianico is a red grape variety that is currently cultivated mainly in Campania and Basilicata. There are many theories about the origin of the name, but no reliable knowledge. It is likely that the Aglianico was introduced to Campania by the Greeks more than 2800 years ago and from here it spread throughout southern Italy. This vine produces well-structured, full-bodied, and full-bodied wines with intense tannins and a strong acidity. Due to the high tannin content, the wines need a few years of maturity in order to develop their high quality. Some call the Aglianico the Barolo of the South because of its great potential.

The grapes for the "Petravia" Aglianico Puglia IGT from Masseria Altemura are carefully destemmed and gently pressed in the wine cellar after the harvest in mid-October. The resulting must is then fermented in stainless steel tanks for twenty days at a controlled temperature of 25 to 28ºC. The “Petravia” then matures for fifteen months in 350-liter and 400-liter French oak tonneaux, before being given its finishing touches in its bottle for another twelve months.

The Aglianico from one of the finest grape varieties in the south finds that "living stone - pietra viva" on the soil of the Masseria Altemura winery, which it needs to express its full power and complex aroma. With its full ruby red, it is intense on the nose and fascinates with aromas of cherry, blackberry, pear and hints of spices such as black pepper and juniper berries. On the palate, Petravia is a dry wine with great structure and clear tannins. A little surprising is its pronounced freshness, which is generated by the nice acidity. The finale is excellent and very long.

At a recommended drinking temperature of around 18 to 20°C, this Aglianico is due to its complexity and consistency an ideal accompaniment to feathered and furred game, dishes with duck, pheasant, venison or wild boar and mature cheeses. Of course, it also goes well with all hearty dishes.
