Aglianico
Aglianico is a grape variety that’s well loved for producing wines with genuine depth and character. At its best, it delivers rich, dark fruit flavours such as black cherry and plum, alongside notes that can shift towards liquorice, dried herbs and warming spice as the wine settles in the glass. Depending on where it’s grown and how it’s made, you might also spot a hint of cocoa or tobacco.
One of the reasons Aglianico stands out is its structure. These wines are often full bodied with firm, grippy tannins and a steady backbone of acidity, which gives them the ability to age beautifully. Even when enjoyed young, you’ll usually find a thoughtful balance rather than something overly sweet or simple.
If you’re choosing a bottle for food, Aglianico pairs particularly well with hearty dishes. Think slow cooked meats, rich tomato based sauces, grilled lamb, or dishes with earthy flavours like mushrooms. Aglianico can also work nicely with hard cheeses, especially when the wine has a bit of bottle time.
Explore the range to find the style that fits your taste, whether you prefer something more elegant and lifted or richer and more intense.
