Glass
It is the perfect glass for structured, intense, aged or potentially suitable red wines; this type of wine undoubtedly needs to "open up" (ie to develop its aromatic, intense and complex outfit at best) and this is made possible by the prolonged contact with oxygen (oxygenation) which, in fact, is facilitated by the generous size of the glass.

DESCRIPTION
Kapnios Aglianico Beneventano IGT is an interesting label proposed by the Campanian winery Masseria Frattasi, an important production pearl that offers organic terroir wines. Mentioned by the ancient Greek playwright Plato the Comedian, this red has a name that derives from the smoked Greek lemma. A denomination that is not accidental, since the wine is obtained by drying the grapes which gives it a smoky flavor. Result of the vinification of Aglianico in purity, this label comes from the fruits of the vines grown on a soil rich in clay and limestone, planted at a height ranging from 500 meters to 600 meters above sea level. After a meticulous manual harvest carried out in the second ten days of November, the grapes are left to dry in the open loft. Then follows a red vinification process. Finally, the Kapnios Benevento Aglianico IGT is first aged in French oak barriques for 18 months, then aged in the bottle for a long period. The final product is a full and balanced sip label. A warm, juicy red with a satisfying finish.
