Wine > Vini rossi Fonzone 3 bottles - Irpinia Aglianico DOC 2016

The Aglianico vineyard of Tenuta Fonzone in Paternopoli extends along the two sides of a hill, whose altitude varies from 360 to 430 m above sea level, with different exposures and generally clayey soils , which also exhibit consistent variations from zone to zone. From the most downstream portion we produce the grapes for this wine, harvested in late October and briefly macerated, and then aged for ten months in stainless steel and, only in small part, in second wood and third pass. Designed to be appreciated in its most immediate characteristics, Irpinia Aglianico DOC is a versatile interpretation of the noble grape variety Irpino.

The evocative charm of a corner of nature in the heart of Irpinia and the desire to contributing to the production of value in a territory of great wines, they have pushed Lorenzo Fonzone Caccese and his family founded a winery in 2005 in Paternopoli, in the Taurasi area. For the Fonzone family, celebrating the pleasure of wine translates, day after day, into a constant commitment, made of responsibility, foresight and tenacity, in search of excellence destined to last over time. The company's production activity focuses on the direction of sustainable viticulture, evaluating and minimizing the impact of all the agricultural and oenological practices implemented, and having as its main objective the protection of the environment and the health of consumers.
