Description: Pietracupa is a name that may not mean much stateside, but in Italy is synonymous with some of the top white wines in Campania and beyond. Most well known for his unparalleled Fiano di Avellino and Greco di Tufo, Sabino Loffredo's reds should not be overlooked. The Quirico is 100% Aglianico coming from his high elevation plots around Avellino on volcanic soil. Unlike his powerhouse Taurasi, the Quirico is a fresher style of Aglianico, more akin to a Langhe Nebbiolo than a Barolo. Lots of wild berry, pepper, and savory herbs, crushed flowers, intense volcanic minerality, and beautifully textured, silky tannin. Both taut and expressive, elegant and redolent, this is a world class example of Campania's greatest red grape.
