Aglianico del Vulture 'Maschitano' Musto Carmelitano 2021

The Aglianico del Vulture “Maschitano” is one of the most convincing expressions of satisfying and complex table wine, endowed with an extraordinary gastronomic vocation. Musto Carmelitano is an absolute reference point for those seeking liquids with a clear connection to their territory, in this case, that of Basilicata. Although it is a relatively small region linked to agricultural production, it is difficult to find bottles that credibly translate the immense local winemaking potential. The choice of Musto Carmelitano arises precisely from this need: to enhance the heritage of old vines and volcanic soils, capable of providing an incredible contribution to the expressiveness of the final products. More sunny than the Campanian versions, the Maschitano is the calling card of the winery and becomes one of the most faithful allies of the daily table.

The red “Maschitano” by Musto Carmelitano is made from pure Aglianico del Vulture grapes, sourced from vineyards located at about 600 meters above sea level that rest on volcanic soils.volcanic. In the vineyard, the principles of organic farming are followed, therefore chemical or synthetic substances are banned and manual harvesting and selection of the grapes is carried out. In the winery, after destemming and crushing, spontaneous alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel tanks and 14 months aging always in steel containers.

The Aglianico del Vulture "Maschitano" fills the glass with its intense ruby robe, edged with purple reflections. A territorial and unmistakable nose, where hints of dark berry fruits, black pepper, clove, and wild herbs intertwine. The contribution of the territory is revealed in a delicate sulfur vein that enlivens the olfaction. On the palate, the liquid is juicy and dynamic, thanks to an extraordinary freshness that does not make the weight of the wine felt. The tannin's texture is beautiful, present but extremely fine. A large supply is necessary!
