BENEVENTANO IGP - PIEDIROSSO - CAMPANIA
Federiciano is Antonio Palermo's favorite wine: in his words, it has "less obvious traits, softer and more delicate sensory characteristics". Piedirosso, the red grape of Campania traditionally planted next to Aglianico to lend it freshness, is here vinified on its own and only in stainless steel, to keep its fragrance, red fruit and gentle spice intact. Certified organic.

Season in the field: Manual harvest between September and October.
Vinification

Tasting notes
Bright ruby red. On the nose, cherry and plum, red berries, geranium and a touch of black pepper. On the palate, medium-bodied and fresh, with soft tannins, a lively, juicy acidity and a fragrant, spicy finish.

Earthy first courses, pasta with meat sauces, grilled white meats, cured meats and pizza. Lightly chilled, it also pairs well with tuna and oily fish.
