Vinification of I Viaggiatori Aglianico IGT by Joaquin

The cultivation of Aglianico grapes for this wine takes place in selected locations with volcanic soils that optimize the character of this varietal. The vineyards are carefully maintained to achieve optimal grape ripeness and concentration. Harvesting is carried out traditionally by hand to select only the best grapes and process them gently. The grapes are destemmed and gently pressed to preserve the full aromatic profile. The mash fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, where modern technology and traditional know-how harmonize perfectly. The fermentation lasts about two weeks, during which the typical tannin structures and complex flavor profile develop. Subsequently, the wine ages for 12 to 18 months in French and Slavic oak barrels, which add additional notes of vanilla, chocolate, and toast, and make the tannins softer.

Key aspects of vinification:

1. Hand-selected grapes from volcanic terroir for maximum depth of character.
2. Fermentation at controlled temperature to preserve delicate aromas.
3. Aging in barriques for harmonious integration of wood notes.
4. Refinement of tannin structure for an elegant mouthfeel.
