Discovering the wine region of Cilento
Campanian DOC south of Salerno (Cilento Natural Park, 59 communes), Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters. Aglianico is the signature red (60–75% of the Rosso): dense and complex with black cherry, blackberry, plum, leather, tobacco and balsamic notes, firm tannins — blended with Piedirosso and Primitivo. Fiano ("Santa Sofia") is the signature white (60–65%): vibrant and mineral with citrus, pear, white flowers and a smoky hint. Greco and Trebbiano complement.
Discover the grape variety: Merlot
Round and fleshy reds with a velvety texture, showing aromas of ripe plum, black cherry, cocoa and truffle notes with age. Supple tannins, generous alcohol, indulgent finish. Pillar of Libournais (Pomerol with Pétrus, Saint-Émilion with Cheval Blanc and Ausone) and signature of Super Tuscans, Italian Wales and Washington State. A cross of Cabernet Franc × Magdeleine Noire, France's most planted red variety.
