A captivating wine, both powerful and elegant. It gleams in the glass, a lovely ruby red colour, and then the nose is complex and engaging - harmonious notes of red cherry and ripe plum, with some charcoal and lavender. The tannins are firm and wash any thought of 'fruitiness' away, but the wine manages to finish on a fresh, juicy note.

The Zullo family, who own Tenuta Viglione, produce some of the more charismatic wines of the area, using both traditional techniques and advanced methodologies – from the context of caring for land and grape, to the processing of the wine, and it’s arrival to the bottle. After many years, driven by his passion for the art of good wine and an attachment to the family and its origins, Giovanni Zullo (third generation of the Zullo family) is honoured to step up and continue to improve the the quality of all aspects of Tenuta Viglione wines. The collection of wines is captivating - using only local varieties, and ensuring that not only are their practices organic, but everything by hand, means the wines are a slow labour of love, gently guiding the grapes on their journey to bottle. The results are worth it - try for yourself!
