{"title":"Il Cancelliere","description":"\u003cp\u003eSome Aglianico tastes like it was made to win medals. The wines of Il Cancelliere taste like they were made to be drunk at a long family table in the mountains, which is more or less how they came to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIl Cancelliere is a Romano family estate in Montemarano, in the province of Avellino. The name comes from the nickname of Soccorso Romano's grandfather, affectionately called il cancelliere, the chancellor, because he was known for dispensing legal advice to local farmers. For generations the family sold their grapes; in 2005 Soccorso decided their fruit deserved a label of its own and relaunched the estate in the Lampenne area. He works today with his wife Pasqualina and his son Enrico, who brings agronomic training, in collaboration with winemaker Antonio di Gruttola.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore on how they farm and work in the cellar in our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/natural-wine-producers-primal-wine\/il-cancelliere\"\u003eIl Cancelliere producer profile\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"irpinia-aglianico-gioviano-il-cancelliere-campania-italy-natural-wine","title":"Il Cancelliere Gioviano Aglianico 2016","description":"\u003cp\u003eGioviano is Il Cancelliere's Irpinia Aglianico DOC, sourced from the contrada Iampenne in Montemarano, a village in the province of Avellino at 450 to 550 meters elevation. The vines are approximately 20 years old, planted on clay-limestone soils with a north-facing exposure, trained in vertical trellis with spurred cordon pruning. Yield is held to 70 quintals per hectare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the cellar, grapes are destemmed and undergo alcoholic fermentation with about 20 days of skin maceration at ambient temperature, followed by pressing with a pneumatic press. The wine then rests on fine lees in stainless steel for roughly 6 months, spends approximately 18 months in large 35-hectoliter Slavonian oak casks, and ages a minimum of 12 months in bottle before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo filtration, no fining, no stabilization, and no added sulfites at any stage. Gioviano is listed at RAW WINE and VinNatur, two natural wine fair circuits that require adherence to strict no-additive standards. Total sulfites remain below 10 mg\/L.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIrpinia Aglianico DOC gained its appellation in 2005 and sits within Campania's Avellino province, the same zone that produces Taurasi DOCG. Montemarano is one of the more elevated and cooler subzones, giving the Aglianico longer hang time and firm but refined tannins compared to warmer lowland expressions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Il Cancelliere","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12932517855287,"sku":"IRPIAGLI16C","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/files\/irpinia-aglianico-gioviano-il-cancelliere-campania-italy-natural-wine_e3853541-67b7-47c7-9ca1-2dda14128f0c.jpg?v=1780681716"}],"url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/collections\/il-cancelliere.oembed","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
