Aglianico is a grape that you have to love with all your strength and Pago dei Fusi is the fruit of the love that stimulates the knowledge of this variety and that, harvest after harvest, signs the indissoluble bond between land, vine and man's work. The harmonious union between Aglianico, the soils and the climate of the vineyards that dominate the slopes of the hills on the Left Bank of the Calore, give Pago dei Fusi strength and structure of exceptional elegance, complexity and longevity. For this wine the name refers to the birthplace and the great Roman toponymic tradition of the rural districts, thus celebrating the territory and ancient glories of the vine .

THE WINE:
Of an intense ruby red color, it has a broad and complex bouquet with aromas of ripe cherry, hints of sweet spices, plum, tobacco, pepper, tar. Full, soft on the palate, it is characterized by velvety and elegant tannins, long notes of fruit and a spicy finish. Of notable structure, it is very long-lived.

FOOD PAIRINGS:
ideal with meats, especially roasts, game, wild boar, lamb chops, and with dishes based on spices, mushrooms and truffles or with mature cheeses such as provolone, parmesan and gorgonzola.
