Description
Discover the Vesevo Aglianico Campania 2023, a bold and captivating red wine hailing from the picturesque Benevento region of Campania, Italy. The elevated vineyards, positioned between 450 and 550 metres above sea level, benefit from the unique microclimate influenced by cool breezes from the Bay of Naples and enriched by the volcanic soil from Vesuvius. Although the 2023 vintage faced significant challenges such as drought and hailstorms, meticulous vineyard management led to a harvest of remarkable quality.
This wine is characterized by:
- A deep ruby red color with enchanting violet reflections.
- An intense and complex nose featuring a medley of ripe black fruit, warm spices, coffee, and vanilla.
- A palate that reveals firm yet smooth tannins, enriched with flavors of dark cherry, cassis, and a touch of vanilla richness.
- A lingering finish marked by echoes of dark cherry, and smoky warmth, leaving a refined embrace.
This Beneventano Aglianico wine is perfect for those seeking a full-bodied experience enhanced with a harmonious balance of acidity and rich tannins, making it an excellent choice for various culinary pairings. For optimal enjoyment, serve the wine slightly chilled at 16–18°C (60–65°F) in a large-bowled glass to enhance the aromatic profile.
Recommended food pairings include:
- Slow-roasted pork shoulder with a cherry and balsamic glaze, harmonizing the wine’s fruity complexity.
- A charcuterie board featuring aged provolone and spicy soppressata, balancing flavors with heat and creaminess.
- Use as a braising liquid for beef short ribs or lamb shanks, serving the dish alongside the wine for a resonant flavor experience.
- Enjoy during celebratory meals with roasted vegetables stuffed with Italian sausage and truffle oil to enhance the rich and earthy notes.
For an unexpected twist, transform your Vesevo experience into a refreshing wine-based cocktail by blending it with sparkling water and a splash of blood orange juice. This delightful concoction highlights the wine’s spicy and fruity characteristics, perfect for casual gatherings. Taste the elegance and depth of Aglianico with this exquisite vintage that invites enjoyment on every occasion.

Storage advice
For optimal storage of red wine:
- Temperature: Store unopened bottles at a stable temperature between 55°F and 65°F (13°C to 18°C). This range supports balanced aging without premature deterioration or slowed maturation. Avoid fluctuations and never exceed 70°F (21°C).
- Light Exposure: Keep bottles away from direct sunlight and strong artificial light to prevent heat buildup and UV damage that can degrade the wine. Use a dark storage area or wine cellar.
- Sealing: Ensure bottles remain sealed with their original cork to minimize oxygen exposure. For opened bottles reseal tightly with a wine stopper or vacuum seal to slow oxidation.
- Bottle Position: Store bottles on their side to keep the cork moist preventing it from drying out and shrinking which could let air in.
- Humidity: Maintain a humidity level around 60-70% to preserve cork elasticity and prevent drying or mold growth.
- Special Considerations for Opened Bottles: After opening red wine is best stored in the refrigerator (around 40-45°F or 4-7°C) with a tight seal to slow oxidation. Before serving bring to room temperature (60-65°F) for optimal flavor.
Following these guidelines will preserve the quality and extend the shelf life of red wine both before and after opening.
