PRODUCTION AREA: Crafted on the volcanic slopes of Mt. Vesuvius, Campania region, Southern Italy

GRAPE VARIETIES: A blend of Aglianico, Piedirosso and Primitivo

ALCOHOL CONTENT: 14.5% Vol.

TASTING NOTES: Deep garnet red color with an elegant, complex bouquet of black cherries, ripe plums, and notes of vanilla, cocoa, and toasted oak. Aged for 24 months in French oak barrels, it offers a refined balance between structure and softness, with silky tannins and a lingering, smoky finish.

SERVING TEMPERATURE: 16–18°C

FOOD PAIRING: Cenere is a bold yet elegant red wine, ideal for structured and flavorful dishes. It pairs beautifully with grilled or roasted red meats, such as steak, lamb chops, or beef ribs. The smoky, oak-aged notes and silky tannins also complement game dishes like wild boar, venison, or duck. Excellent alongside slow-cooked stews, braised meats, and rich sauces. Perfect with aged and mature cheeses (Pecorino, aged cow’s milk cheeses, or blue cheeses).
