Tenuta Cavalier Pepe Irpinia Aglianico doc.Terra Del Varo, doc. 2023 0,75l

Terra del Varo is the Irpinia Aglianico DOC from Tenuta Cavalier Pepe and clearly reflects the robust red wine tradition of Campania. The grapes come from hilly vineyards with limestone and volcanic soils that give Aglianico structure, freshness and minerality. On the nose it reveals dark cherry, blackberry and plum alongside hints of liquorice, black pepper and dried herbs. On the palate the wine is juicy and dense, with firm yet ripe tannins and lively acidity. Touches of cocoa, tobacco and earthy tones accompany the long, spicy finish. Terra del Varo pairs beautifully with grilled meats, lamb, stews and hearty pasta dishes with ragù.

Cement tank ageing preserves structure, clarity and a harmonious expression of the wine.

In the green heart of Irpinia, Campania, Tenuta Cavalier Pepe in the region Campania sits among rolling hills and cool elevations. The Pepe family has grown grapes for generations; entrepreneur Angelo Pepe carried that legacy into a modern estate—honoured in 1998 with the “Cavaliere” title—where cellar, vineyards and hospitality form one coherent vision....

The grape variety: Aglianico

Aglianico gives deeply coloured red wines with dark fruit, firm tannins, lively acidity and savoury spice. It is especially linked to Campania and Basilicata in southern Italy.

The variety is exciting because it combines Mediterranean warmth with real structure and ageing potential. It pairs beautifully with grilled meat, slow braises, game and aged cheese. Aglianico
