Aglianico - called the \"Barolo of the South\" by some winemakers - is a grape of Greek origin, brought to Campania by Hellenic settlers millennia ago, which finds ideal conditions for its fullest expression in the Taburno massif, in the Sannio area of Benevento.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eCantine Tora is a family-run winery rooted in this volcanic area of inland Campania, where the vineyards grow on mineral-rich clay and tuffaceous soils at an altitude of over 400 meters. Riserva Spartiviento - the name evokes the wind that divides the seasons on these hills - is produced only in the finest vintages, from a selection of the ripest and most concentrated grapes, with extended aging in oak barrels that can exceed 24 months, followed by further bottle aging before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe result is a wine of great structure and complexity: deep ruby red in color with garnet reflections. Intense and austere on the nose: black cherry, plum, violet, tobacco, leather, oriental spices, and a distinctive ferrous and volcanic undertone that is the unmistakable signature of Aglianico on Campanian soils. Powerful on the palate, with dense, still lively tannins in its youth - this is a wine that requires patience and shows at its best after 5-8 years from the vintage.
