// 100% Organic Aglianico del Vulture, 500m above sea level
"It is the territory and the site of the vineyards that give the name to this high quality Aglianico bottle, typical of Vulture lands. Its scents and flavors retain all the passion and the work of the winemaker. Bright ruby red and elegant aroma with predominance of fruity and floral notes typical of the ag-lianico variety; the palate is characterised by its typical balanced tannins and lively freshness. Fermentation and maceration took place in small tank with delicate pumping over to break the cap. After malolactic fermentation the wine was put into a combination of used french tonneaux for about 8-12 months." - Cantine Madonna delle Grazie, Winemaker
"The first wine from the vineyards, bottled as “Liscone,” displays a dark nighttime Chagall-esque dreamscape that somehow captures perfectly the wine’s characteristic calm and cold earthy characteristics. The soil is a mix of dark/black clay and coarse sand from the blondish-gray, extremely friable tuff (lithified volcanic pyroclastic debris), giving the soil a slightly lighter shade of blackish grey. There are uncountable variations of different structures of tuff, depending on the volcano, each specific eruption and each individual deposition." - The Source Imports
