Aglianico
Aglianico is one of Italy's most fascinating red wine varieties – wild, powerful, and with a depth that immediately captivates you. In the glass, it shines a deep, dark color and offers aromas of blackberries, black cherries, and plums, accompanied by notes of spice, tobacco, and chocolate. On the palate, it is full-bodied with pronounced tannins and a vibrant acidity that gives it impressive longevity .
Its home is the southern Italian regions of Campania and Basilicata , where it thrives on volcanic soils – no wonder connoisseurs like to call it the "Barolo of the South." At Vinoscout, you'll discover 16 carefully selected Aglianico wines ranging from €7.40 to €56.71, offering the perfect introduction as well as the ideal occasion for something special.
