Fonzone's Aglianico Mattoda' was born in vineyards located in Irpinia, in Paternopoli, in the province of Avellino. The vineyards are located on two sides of a well-ventilated hill, located at an altitude ranging from 360 to 430 m above sea level and circumscribed by the Fredane and Ifalco streams.

Another part of the must is macerated and fermented in stainless steel tanks for a month. After racking, one part is aged in large 25 hl barrels, one 500 l barrel and one in second and third passage barriques for 18 months.

It is characterized by a ruby red colour. The nose reveals aromas of blueberries and menthol notes, eucalyptus and vanilla. The sip is balanced and balsamic, with fine tannins and good persistence.
