Vigna Marziacanale DOC Irpinia Vinosia 2005
Vinosia is an Italian boutique winery in Campania owned by two brothers, Mario and Luciano Ercolino, who make some stunning wines. They concentrate on producing wines with local DOC status but with a certain flare and style.
What’s it like?
Frankly superb. This is their flagship wine made from 100% Aglianico aged in oak. It’s big and powerful with delicious fruit beautifully balanced against big alcohol and smooth, sweet tannins. The wine is delicious, especially with food, and has incredible length. It’s also quite a fashion statement as the bottle is huge, weighing 1.1 kg when empty! This is a great wine to impress your friends with!
