The Don Anselmo Riserva 20 Anni 2005 is a rare and iconic wine, a true masterpiece from the historic Paternoster winery, located in the heart of Basilicata, on the volcanic slopes of Monte Vulture. This prestigious wine is dedicated to the memory of Anselmo Paternoster, the founder of the estate, and represents the pinnacle of tradition, craftsmanship, and the unique terroir of the region.
Crafted exclusively from 100% Aglianico del Vulture grapes, this wine showcases the extraordinary potential of this late-ripening variety. The 2005 vintage, aged for over two decades, reveals a deep garnet color and an intricate bouquet of red fruits, leather, balsamic herbs, and dark spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied and elegant, with velvety tannins and a remarkably long, harmonious finish.
The Paternoster winery, established in 1925, is renowned for its meticulous attention to detail and its commitment to preserving the essence of the volcanic soils that define the Aglianico del Vulture. The Don Anselmo Riserva 20 Anni 2005 is a collector’s gem, perfect for pairing with roasted meats, aged cheeses, or as a meditation wine to savor on special occasions.
