Pezza La Corte Aglianico del Taburno DOCG & Vigna Del Monaco Taburno Falanghina Del Sannio DOC - Excellence in a bottle

The Ocone 1910 boutique winery is located in the Taburno (DOCG) area of the D.O.P. Sannio, of which the main grape varietal is Aglianico. Dating back to ancient times, this varietal, more than any other, is an expression of the essence and identity of this territory.

Of notable importance, is also the winery’s production of white wines, with a prominent role afforded to the Falanghina grape varietal, an ancient white grape varietal that equally conveys the essence and identity of this territory.

Pezza La Corte Aglianico del Taburno DOCG and Vigna del Monaco Taburno Falanghina del Sannio DOC, produced with the grapes from two historic vineyards(cru) which, due to their exposure and characteristics, represent an excellence of the winery.

Pezza La Corte: 100% Aglianico – Intense and dark ruby red in color. The nose offers up delicate hints of red fruit, cherries and blackberries, as well as overtones of tobacco, toastiness and delicate notes of vanilla, followed by an after-aroma of cherry jam. The concentrated, soft and well-orchestrated taste on the palate reveals a mature and elegant tannic component. On entering the mouth, it proves generous and gratifying with tight-knit and elegant tannins and a lingering finish.

Food Pairing: Ideal with elaborate pasta and rice dishes, meat and mature cheeses.

Vigna del Monaco: 100% Falanghina – Straw-yellow in color with golden highlights. The elegant and intense nose offers floral aromas of elderflower and hawthorn, fruity notes of ripe apricots and bananas and balsamic notes. On the palate, it is fresh and tangy, well-balanced, and structured. Full-bodies and persistent with a slightly bitterish aftertaste, typical of the grape variety.

Food Pairing: ideal with pasta and rice dishes with vegetable and fish sauces, fish, white meat and medium-mature cheeses.
