"I Viaggiatori Botte Single" is a special selection of Aglianico produced by Joaquin . It is a lot from a single barrel which, forgotten in the cellar, has allowed for longer aging than usual, we are talking about 4 years of aging. After tasting this nectar it was decided to bottle it separately, given the incredible nuances it was endowed with thanks to this longer refinement. The vineyards rise on volcanic soil and are over a century old plants; very low yields but of supreme quality, as is evident in this Aglianico "I Viaggiatori single cask" Joaquin . The nose is a continuous release of different scents, first ripe red fruit, then spices, cocoa, balsamic and citrus notes. On the palate it enters sinuous and delicate and then explodes in its majesty. Dense but velvety tannins, perfectly integrated with acidity and flavor. It does not need pairings, taste it alone.

NOTES I Viaggiatori Botte Single comes from forgetting a barrel in the cellar. This forgotten barrique has remained there and the wine has not only had a different evolution compared to I Viaggiatori, but has also taken on typicality from a single barrel. In fact, however, the bottling lot is unique and therefore it is I Viaggiatori, but a single barrel.
