Tenuta Ponte 'Carazita' - Aglianico

This 2018 Aglianico red wine hails from Italy. Tenuta Ponte, founded in 1995, is nestled between Luogosano and Taurasi. The estate has a long - standing history dating back to 200 BC and enjoys a Mediterranean climate with perfect humidity for wine - making. This full - bodied red wine emits captivating aromas of blackberries, licorice, and crushed black pepper. It pairs excellently with lamb or braised barbecue ribs, enhancing your dining experience.

To enjoy this wine, first, let it breathe for about 30 minutes to an hour before pouring. Just open the bottle and let it sit in a decanter or open glass. Serve it at a temperature around 60 - 65°F (15 - 18°C). This is ideal to bring out its flavors. When it comes to food pairings, as mentioned, it goes great with lamb or braised barbecue ribs, but you can also try it with other red - meat dishes like beef steak. Store the wine in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat. If you have an opened bottle, cork it tightly and keep it in the refrigerator. It should stay good for a couple of days, but the flavors may gradually fade over time. Remember, wine is best enjoyed fresh, so try to finish it within a few days after opening.
