Located on a plateau naturally surrounded by an amphitheater of hills, not far from the inactive volcano of Roccamonfina, from the Massive of Matese and the volcano Vesuvius, the Audelino vineyard enjoys the positive influence of the weather thanks to the elevated thermal inversion and to the ventilation, optimal elements during the maturation of the grapes.
VINTAGE 2022
Vinous – 91
The 2022 Pallagrello Nero Cunto is darkly floral and dusty in character. It smolders up with a whiff of cocoa powder and dried roses before giving way to musky black currant. The palate is soothingly round, with ripe red and black fruits complicated by a hint of sour citrus and an air of sage toward the close. It finishes with staining length and gravelly mineral tones as fine-grained tannins flex upon the senses.

Vinous – 91+
The 2020 Pallagrello Nero Cunto is delicate and coy in the glass with a mix of grilled herbs, stone dust and blackberries forming its bouquet. This is a pure and zesty effort with crisp wild berry fruits and violet inner florals that flow throughout. It finishes long and tannic, drying out the palate and puckering the cheeks as hints of licorice fade. Have patience with this young Pallagrello Nero.
