{"title":"Capolino Perlingieri","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlexia Capolino Perlingieri hails from Naples and shares a rich family history in winemaking. She recalls, \"My grandfather, a lawyer and member of the first Italian Parliament after Italy became a Republic in 1946, had a passion for viticulture and winemaking. When he passed away in 1972, the year I was born, my mother continued his legacy. At that time, she was one of the few female winemakers in Campania, alongside Lucio Mastroberardino and Leonardo Mustilli. With no babysitting options, I spent my childhood in Solopaca during the harvest seasons, creating beautiful memories.\"\n\nThe Perlingieri vineyards, located in Solopaca near Monte Taburno at an elevation of about 300 meters, are known for their predominantly clay soils with volcanic origins and numerous stones. The estate-grown grapes are planted at a density of 5,000 plants per hectare, with harvesting typically occurring in early September. The yields are kept extremely low, around 1.5 tons per acre, to ensure high-quality fruit.\n\nTheir wines are crafted in a beautifully restored old stone house near the vineyards, also featured on their label. Alexia brings passion and meticulous attention to detail to her winemaking process. Grapes are carefully sorted after destemming to remove leaves and stems, a practice common in high-end winemaking but rare in this region and at this price point.\n\nVinification is conducted in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures, with no oak aging or malolactic fermentation. The wine is aged 7-8 months in the tank before bottling. While Campania is renowned for its robust red wines, particularly from Aglianico, Alexia highlights the unique brilliance and diversity of the region's white wines, which have become her favorite in Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"capolino-perlingieri-brizio-campania-aglianico","title":"Capolino Perlingieri Brizio Campania Aglianico 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003eCapolino Perlingieri Brizio Aglianico is a red wine made from 100% Aglianico grapes from the Solopaca area, near Monte Taburno in Campania; the vineyards are planted at around 300 meters above sea level. The region's clay and volcanic soils contribute significantly to the unique characteristics of the wine. Brizio Aglianico is produced to be more approachable and ready-to-drink than other more structured and austere Aglianico wines, that require long aging periods. Brizio is characterized by juicy fruit notes, soft tannins, and fresh acidity; it's perfect with meat-based dishes or hearty soups.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Capolino Perlingieri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45328192831704,"sku":"perlingieri-brizioaglianico","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/files\/capolino-perlingieri-brizio-aglianico-campania-natural-wine-primal-wine_28af5952-6bb5-41d8-b369-87ecaa60206a.jpg?v=1780286180"}],"url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/collections\/capolino-perlingieri.oembed","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
