TEMPA DI ZOE

Templa di Zoe is a compelling introduction to Aglianico, one of southern Italy's most important red grapes. With its dark fruit, firm tannin, high acidity, and volcanic-earth depth, this wine offers a robust and complex experience. While the origin remains unknown, Aglianico's reputation rests on deeply structured wines from classic zones like Taurasi in Campania and Vulture in Basilicata. Expect notes of black cherry, plum, blackberry, dried herbs, smoke, leather, earth, licorice, and sometimes iron-like mineral notes. The structure is imposing when young but offers tension and age potential with thoughtful winemaking and time in bottle. Pair it with robust dishes like lamb, beef, or grilled meats to fully appreciate its depth.
