Claudio Quarta

Claudio Quarta Aglianico Vin rosu

Irpinia Aglianico Claudio Quarta 0.75 L red wine. Aglianico, the main grape variety from the Irpinian territory, expresses itself exceptionally due to unique climatic conditions, giving birth to wines with personality. "Irpinia Aglianico DOP" is an elegant and refined wine, a young and fresh expression of this pure variety. In the glass, it presents a red color with aromas of rose, violet, pepper, licorice, and menthol notes. On the palate, it is fresh, dry, and powerful, with tannins that confer longevity. Ideal for savory main courses, red meat, and cheeses.  

Awards:   AIS Vitae 2024: 3 vines   FIS Bibenda 2024: 4 bunches "Intense ruby red, it expresses aromas of fresh red fruits, sour cherry and bitter cherry, giving way to earthy notes. Mineral and balsamic hints are not lacking. Warm, enveloping and soft taste, with tannin and savoriness dominating the finish."   I Vini di Veronelli Guida Oro 2024: 86 points   Winescritic.com 2023: 91 points "Notes of black plum, blueberry, tangerine peel, dark chocolate and chamomile flowers define the sensory profile of this Aglianico. On the palate, medium body, agile structure and a pleasant medium-length finish."   FIS Bibenda 2023: 4 bunches "Compact ruby red. Intense aroma with notes of sour cherries, fern, wet earth, humus, geranium, sandalwood, mineral and balsamic notes. Rich and energetic tasting, of great amplitude, with soft fruitiness and firm tannins, on a salty and fresh persistence."

About the producer:

There is a red thread that unites and crosses the three wineries that make up the identity and brand Claudio Quarta Vignaiolo. A thread that feeds on the beauty of the chosen territories, on the traditions that have animated those places for centuries, on the landscapes that surround the production sites recovered from their history.

Research-innovation-modernity, traditions-history-sustainability: the production philosophy of the three Claudio Quarta Vignaiolo wineries unfolds along this dual path.
Claudio and Alessandra, father and daughter, with the South in their blood mixed with an international outlook, create three masterpieces of wine art in Puglia and Campania, intertwining autochthony, landscape, and art: Tenute Eméra, the largest of the wineries, with its 80 hectares, 50 of which are vineyards, in the heart of Primitivo di Manduria DOP, Lizzano, in Marina di Puglia; Cantina Sanpaolo, which takes its name from the ancient San Paolo di Tufo district, in the heart of Irpinia, and the small Cantina Moros, in Guagnano (in the province of Lecce, still in Puglia), the epicenter of the famous Salice Salentino DOP.

Three wineries, three different territories, one single goal: to produce wines capable of telling "The South that moves".
