BLACKFEATHERS (Pignanera)
IGP
50% Aglianico, 30% Montepulciano and 20% Guarnaccia. Made from selected grapes from vineyards of various ages, it has an elegant full body to the nose and taste. At the first impression it is impressive, fine, and intense, fruity and spicy, with hints of black currant, cherry, balsamic wood and licorice, closing with smoky aromas. In the mouth is round, of considerable depth, with tannins which give it a strong character without however affecting smoothness and balance. Notable finish, exceptionally long and rich in flavor.
It is an important red wine to be served with strong dishes: excellent with skewers, fatty red meats, game, roasts, tasty cheeses.
