Aglianico Wine

The Ancient Titan of Southern Italy
Aglianico is one of Italy’s oldest and most noble grape varieties, often referred to as "The Barolo of the South." Thriving in the volcanic soils of Campania and Basilicata, this sun-loving grape produces wines of immense structure, deep complexity, and extraordinary aging potential. Known for its high acidity and firm tannins, Aglianico is the grape behind some of the most prestigious and long-lived red wines in the Mediterranean.

Volcanic Terroir and Flavor Profile
Aglianico is a true "terroir" grape, absorbing the mineral-rich characteristics of the extinct volcanoes it calls home. When young, these wines are bold and concentrated; with age, they transform into elegant masterpieces.

• On the Palate: Expect concentrated notes of black cherry, plum, and spiced berries, underpinned by earthy undertones of leather, white pepper, and volcanic ash.
• Aging Potential: Thanks to its robust structure, premium Aglianico can cellar for decades, developing savory nuances and silky textures over time.
