KLEOS

2011 Aglianico Luigi Maffini

Grapes Aglianico
Colour Red
Origin Italy, Campania
ABV 13.5%

Luigi Maffini makes some of Italy's (& the world's) very best Aglianico, at his beautiful estate overlooking the sea south of Naples. The Kleos is an enticing ruby red in colour with a slight purple hue. Bags full of rich dark cherries and currant jam to the nose. This follows to the palate, baked dark fruit with hints of tropical spice and a fresh, but long finish. Delicious, decadent wine, really impressive. L&S (Oct 2014)

Deep crimson. Lots of depth and layers with warm tarmacadam and very ripe, burly fruit. Just the right side of overripe but excellent for the money. Very Good Value. Drinking range: 2015 - 2020 Rating: 16.5/20 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Aug 2015)

Luigi Maffini

Luigi Maffini's vineyards are on the coast of Campania, south of Naples, across the bay from Positano, and planted with the local grapes, Fiano for the whites and Aglianico for the reds. While the family's first vines were planted in the seventies, the real beginning of this winery dates from 1996.

Luigi and his wife Raffaella are both graduates of Naples university in agricultural sciences. Luigi specialised in viticulture and winemaking. Ten years elapsed between our first tasting of his wines and getting Luigi 'on board', but he has now been with L&S since 2009.

Raffaella and Luigi run the vineyards organically, and share the land with their two children and three dogs, as well as hares, foxes, hedgehogs, hawks and wild boar, with which they are happy to live in peace. There are now two vineyard sites, at Castellabate and Giungano, so some of the wines are DOC Cilento and some DOC Paestum.
