About
Aiace, one of the estate’s leading reds, is a Salice Salentino DOC Riserva. It is named after Aiace Telamonio, king of Salamina, who took part in the Trojan war and distinguished himself among the Greek heroes on many occasions with his strength and great courage.
Terroir
Sourced from the hills surrounding Castello Monaci’s only DOC, Salice Salentino, the soils are mainly composed of clay and limestone, and are blessed with the cool winds of marine air from both the Adriatic and the Ionic seas.
Vinification
Grape selection of negroamaro and malvasia nera di Lecce, harvested very early in the morning during the last ten days of September, were vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with two weeks’ maceration and daily remontages.
Tasting Notes
Aiace has a deep ruby color with an intense nose of full, jammy fruit. The wine is lively on the palate dominated by flavors of raspberry, blackberry and spice.
