Benito Ferrara's entry-level Aglianico, a Campania IGT from the estate's vineyards in Montemiletto. Ruby red with fresh aromas of cherry, red berries and violet, it ferments in steel and ages briefly in steel before release, resulting in a dry, medium-bodied, smooth and approachable red - the estate's easy-drinking counterpoint to the more structured Vigna Quattro Confini.
Aglianico without the wait - Passo del Lupo delivers the grape's dark-fruit character in a soft, immediately drinkable style.
