Capolino Perlingieri - Sciascì 2015 (750ml) Grenache

Capolino Perlingieri - Sciascì 2015 (750ml) GrenachePerlingieris Sciasci Sianno Rosso offers the structure and boldness of a classic Aglianico with a softer, sweeter roundness to it that makes this bottling a little more accessible for everyday. There is a lovely balance between the power and intensity of Aglianico and the gentle, playful red fruit notes of the variety Sciascinoso, which is indigenous to the Campania region. Fine grained tannic texture leads through the mineral and fruity finish,

It recalls the coasts of Jerez with aromas and flavors of iodine

through which an extremely delicate thread of floral honey flows

Intense aromas of ripe plums

blackberries and lead pencil shavings suggest a big Pauillac rather than a St

dark red fruit tones

sweet spices and cedar wood

Succulent and vivid yet firm and structured

Round and fruity

green vegetable stalks

the wine’s finish conjures thoughts of strawberry cream
