Kitrus Lost Hellanico Red

Red dry

Origin Pieria

Aglianico is a red variety that excels in Italy, mainly in the areas of Basilicata and Campania. But how many know that her origin is Greek? Its name comes from the Latin "vitis hellenica" which means Greek grape and was transported to southern Italy by Greek settlers. This is how Kitrvs Estate named this red wine "Lost Hellanico", stating its Greek origin.

With long-lasting extracts and after a 15-month stay in American oak barrels with regular battonage, Aglianico is now ready to fill our glasses with rich aromas and flavors of ripe cherry, ripe strawberry, prunes, sour cherry, pepper and cauliflower.

Deep crimson color impresses in the glass. Moderate in the body with intense acidity.

On the nose, its intense, peppery, full of complexity aromas evolve as it breathes. Rich in the mouth, with firm but well-worked tannins and acidity that gives nerve. Dried plum and pepper stand out in the mouth and remain there in the very good aftertaste.

It ages for more than 8 years
