The wines typically have an ABV of 13-15%, showcasing notes of dark fruit, chocolate, and earthy undertones. Aglianico’s popularity is due to its robust structure and the depth of flavor that develops with age, making it a favorite among connoisseurs.

Campania and Basilicata offer ideal growing conditions for Aglianico, with their volcanic soils and Mediterranean climate contributing to the grape’s distinctive characteristics. The grape’s ability to produce high-quality wines that improve significantly with cellaring has cemented its status in the wine world. Additionally, Aglianico’s versatility in food pairings, particularly with rich, savory dishes, enhances its appeal, making it a staple in Italian wine collections and on gourmet menus.
