Paternoster ‘Synthesi’: The Volcanic Power of Aglianico del Vulture

Discover the Aglianico Del Vulture “Synthesi” Red Paternoster, a stunning red wine from the volcanic slopes of Mount Vulture in Southern Italy’s Basilicata region. The name ‘Synthesi’ (synthesis) perfectly captures the wine’s balance, offering a harmonious blend of the Aglianico grape’s innate structure, the unique volcanic minerality, and judicious oak aging. This bottle is your essential gateway to one of Italy’s most age-worthy and exciting red varieties, often dubbed the ‘Barolo of the South’.

Tasting Notes (Sommelier Review)

Paternoster’s ‘Synthesi’ pours an intense ruby red. The bouquet is immediately expressive, featuring concentrated aromas of black cherry, wild berries, and dark plum, complemented by a signature earthy, volcanic minerality, spicy notes of licorice, and a subtle floral lift of violet. It is dry and medium-to-full-bodied on the palate, driven by vibrant, food-friendly acidity and firm, yet well-integrated tannins. The mouthfeel is juicy and concentrated, with dark fruit and graphite nuances that lead to a long, savoury, and fresh finish. This is a bold, structured red that delivers exceptional value.
