LUIGI MAFFINI KLEOS

Expect a robust and complex Aglianico from LUIGI MAFFINI, a powerful southern Italian red grape with dark fruit, firm tannin, high acidity, and volcanic-earth depth. This table wine showcases the classic zones of Taurasi in Campania and Vulture in Basilicata, where altitude, volcanic soils, and long growing seasons help the grape reach full flavor maturity while preserving freshness. You can expect notes of black cherry, plum, blackberry, dried herbs, smoke, leather, earth, licorice, and sometimes iron-like mineral notes. With its imposing structure, high acidity, and firm tannin, this wine requires thoughtful winemaking and time in bottle to fully unfold its depth and complexity, making it a perfect match for hearty dishes like lamb, beef, braised pork, aged cheeses, bitter greens, tomato-rich sauces, mushrooms, and grilled meats.
