2007 | Cantina Giardino | Nude Aglianico d'Irpinia

Neither filtering nor selected yeasts and, in this year in particular, not even added sulphites. The Campania Aglianico IGT "Nude", from Cantina Giardino, recalls in all respects the most genuine and the most well-made farmer's wines. It matures one year in new barriques and another 12 months in second passage tonneaux. Without taking anything away from the other wines, it is perhaps the best one from Cantina Giardino.
The wine has an intense ruby red color with decidedly intense and rich aromas reminiscent of plum, spices, chocolate and coffee. The flavor is powerful, characterized by incisiveness and length, with silky tannins.

Distillery Information:

Cantina Giardino is a joint venture between six friends with the goal to preserve old vineyards and native grape varieties in and around Irpinia, a mountainous town in the heart of Campania. Headed by Antonio and Daniela di Gruttola, the project has become somewhat iconisc on the natural wine scene, withtheir unwavering commitment to the craft and striking wine labels commisioned from local artists.They source fruit from 16 distinct and often quite distant parcels. In total, this represents about six hectares and includes a 2.5 ha plot that the couple recently purchased. From the beginning, the aim has been to source older vines (50+) from contadini who have been working traditionally for generations but were at risk of having to abandon or uproot their land.
