Product details
Tenuta Bocca di Lupo Castel del Monte Aglianico 2021 is a flagship estate release that reflects the identity of southern Italy’s rugged Castel del Monte landscape. Sourced from the estate’s finest vineyard parcels, every step of production is guided by precision and respect for raw materials, beginning with careful hand harvesting and meticulous selection. The fruit is gently processed in temperature-controlled stainless steel vessels, followed by an extended period of skin contact designed to preserve structure while maintaining balance and elegance. Aging takes place in French oak barrels and continues with additional time resting in bottle, allowing the elements to integrate fully and express the depth, power, and regional character for which Bocca di Lupo is known.
In the glass, this vintage shows a vibrant ruby hue and an expressive aromatic profile led by ripe black cherry and red cherry. Subtle layers of vanilla, clove, and dark cocoa add warmth and complexity, creating a refined and inviting bouquet. The palate opens with richness and volume, then moves into a harmonious, savory mid-palate supported by polished, well-defined tannins. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a lasting impression of balance, structure, and elegance.
