Aglianico del Vulture 400 Some
"400 Some" Aglianico del Vulture DOC
La Cantina Carbone was founded in 2005 by the will of the Carbone brothers. As often happens, there was already a family tradition for wine production thanks to their father and uncle. The main vineyard is obviously the Aglianico del Vulture, which finds its preferred terroir, medium-textured and mineral soil. From these ingredients, a red wine full of character is born, like the 400 Some, which takes its name from Carlo d'Angiò 's desire to purchase 400 bottles after staying on the hills of Vulture.
The wine ages in small barrels of the 2nd and 3rd generation before being definitively bottled. It pairs well with classic dishes from Lucanian cuisine and aged cheeses such as Pecorino di Filiano DOP
