Luigi Maffini Siopè 2016
A monumental red for charisma and stylistic rigor. The olfactory profile alternates ripe black fruits with tertiary notes of leather and dark spices of extreme refinement. On the palate, it is dense, savory, and characterized by a masterful balance between the strength of the tannin and the verticality of the sip. A stylistic achievement that represents the pinnacle of modern Aglianico.
Luigi Maffini Siopè 2016
Luigi Maffini's Siopè 2016 is a monumental work, the ultimate expression of Aglianico from Cilento, produced only in exceptional vintages. If Kleos is freshness and Cenito is structure, Siopè (which means "silence" in Greek) is deep meditation, a wine born from an extreme selection in the vineyard and a very long aging process. The 2016 vintage, among the most balanced of the last twenty years, allowed this "difficult" grape variety to reach perfect polyphenolic ripeness. On the nose, it is a concert of rare elegance: clear notes of marasca cherry liqueur, blackberry, and myrtle merge with deep scents of dark tobacco, coffee powder, quinine, and a mineral trail that evokes the sun-scorched Mediterranean scrub and flint stone. On the palate, it is sumptuous and three-dimensional;The entrance is austere, dominated by a dense yet incredibly balanced texture, with a noble and sculpted tannin that stretches towards a savory, endless finish with an interminable aromatic persistence, characterized by an aristocratic balsamic freshness.
