Aglianico is one of the noblest red grapes of Southern Italy: brought by the Greeks in the 6th century BC, it produces Taurasi and Aglianico del Vulture, powerful and long-lived wines comparable to Nebbiolo.
Aglianico is a grape of Greek origin (6th century BC) grown mainly in Campania (Irpinia, Sannio) and Basilicata (Vulture). It is the basis of Taurasi DOCG, Aglianico del Taburno DOCG and Aglianico del Vulture DOCG.
It produces wines of great tannic structure, sustained acidity, a profile of sour cherry, plum, spices and mineral notes (especially on the volcanic soils of the Vulture). Late harvest (late October-November). Excellent longevity (15-25 years). Synonyms: Ellenico, Gnanico.
