Aroma & Palate

The bouquet opens with concentrated aromas of black cherry, blackberry and ripe plum, followed by elegant notes of liquorice, tobacco, cocoa and sweet baking spices. Maturation in French oak adds subtle vanilla and cedar nuances while preserving the purity of the fruit. The palate is full-bodied and beautifully structured, balancing powerful tannins with fresh acidity and remarkable elegance. The volcanic soils of Irpinia contribute a distinctive mineral character that lingers throughout the finish.

Body

Full-bodied with concentrated fruit, refined tannins and excellent structure.

Finish

Long and persistent, revealing layers of dark fruit, cocoa, tobacco and savoury spice.


Why This Wine Matters

Irpinia is the spiritual home of Aglianico, one of Italy's greatest noble red grape varieties. The volcanic soils, high elevations and cool mountain influences create wines of exceptional structure, freshness and longevity.

Blu Onice showcases a more refined interpretation of Aglianico, where careful oak maturation enhances rather than dominates the fruit. The result is a wine that combines the variety's natural power with elegance and complexity, making it an outstanding ambassador for the wines of Campania.
