Aglianico grape variety

Aglianico is one of the oldest grape varieties from southern Italy. The first written evidence of its cultivation dates back to the 16th century. It produces high-quality wines with a deep ruby to garnet red colour and a rich, multi-layered bouquet. Typical flavours include dark fruits such as fully ripe plums and violets, as well as chocolate, leather and tobacco. Aglianico wines are powerful on the palate, with distinctive tannins that require some ageing and present acidity. It develops its qualities particularly well on barren, volcanic soils. It is relatively resistant to powdery mildew, but is susceptible to botrytis.
