Appio

IRPINIA CAMPI TAURASINI DOC

2018

In the middle valley of the Calore, between Luogosano and Sant’Angelo all’Esca, the Aglianico vine has always been cultivated. From its red berries, carefully selected manually, vinified and aged in ceramic amphorae, Appio is born. It is the name that Cavalier Angelo Pepe chose to pay homage to the Appian Way, which connected ancient Rome to today’s Brindisi. The queen of roads, built by Appio Claudio Cieco from the mid-third century BC, crossed the ancient Roman colony of Aeclanum, in Irpinia, allowing the transit of goods, men and the fusion of cultures.

Organoleptic characteristics

Color

Intense ruby red color with purple reflections.

Aroma

Notes of red fruits such as currants, blueberries and dark cherry, accompanied by mineral notes and slightly spicy hints.

Bouquet

Wine with a very fine, fruity, savory entrance, with a good minerality. Full and enveloping, thanks to a soft structure, with good presence of fine and elegant tannins. The sip ends with persistence.

Winemaking

The grapes are usually harvested towards the end of October and beginning of November, from the vineyard planted in 1970 and cultivated using the traditional Starseta system. They are then transported to the winery where they are carefully selected before being destemmed. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature and maceration with the skins lasts for about 20 days. After fermentation, ageing begins in French oak barriques for 12 months, continues in concrete tanks and then in the bottle.

Food and wine pairings

The elegance of Appio makes the wine extremely versatile in combinations, being able to serenely accompany the meal starting from hot appetizers based on vegetables and meat, to move on to the first courses, with well-seasoned pasta, red sauces based on meat, to get to the second courses of medium structure, such as, for example, a cut of beef, or even medium-aged cheeses. Appio marries very well dishes with truffles. Serving temperature 16-18°C.
