Aglianico, an ancient grape variety with roots deeply embedded in the volcanic soils of Southern Italy, particularly in the regions of Basilicata and Campania, stands as a testament to Italy's rich winemaking heritage. Esteemed for its ability to produce robust, full-bodied wines with a strong tannic structure, Aglianico is often compared to Nebbiolo, another of Italy's iconic grapes, due to its potential for ageing and developing complex flavours over time. The wines made from Aglianico are characterised by their deep ruby colour, and a complex bouquet of dark fruits, chocolate, and spices, with an underlying minerality attributed to the volcanic terroir. This grape variety embodies the essence of Southern Italian winemaking, offering wines that balance intensity and elegance, and are highly regarded by wine enthusiasts around the globe for their depth, complexity, and ageing potential.
