Astroni’s Campania Aglianico I Viaggiatori is made from selected Aglianico grapes sourced from various renowned areas of Campania, with the aim of expressing a modern and dynamic profile of this great southern grape variety. The grapes are harvested by hand and vinification is carried out with respect for the raw material, involving fermentation in stainless steel and careful maceration to extract colour, structure and aromas without excess. Ageing continues partly in stainless steel and partly in wood, for a balanced period that allows the wine to soften the tannins whilst maintaining freshness and its terroir identity.
On the nose, it is intense and enveloping, with aromas of ripe red and black fruits, cherry, plum and blackberry, accompanied by spicy notes, black pepper, Mediterranean herbs and light balsamic undertones. On the palate, it is structured and harmonious, with tannins that are present yet well-integrated, good freshness and a long, consistent finish that echoes the fruity and spicy notes.
A wine of character and versatility, ideal for accompanying convivial lunches and dinners but also suitable for more formal occasions. It pairs perfectly with red meats, roasts, grilled dishes, traditional Campania dishes, stews and medium-aged cheeses.
To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 16–18°C.
