The MACCHIALUPA AGLIANICO offers a taste of southern Italy's robust red grape varieties, known for their dark fruit, firm tannin, high acidity, and volcanic-earth depth. While the exact origin is unknown, Aglianico is one of southern Italy's most important red grapes, often linked to ancient viticulture and places like Taurasi and Vulture in Campania and Basilicata. Expect a wine with classic notes of black cherry, plum, blackberry, dried herbs, smoke, leather, earth, licorice, and sometimes iron-like mineral notes. With its imposing structure, high acidity, and firm tannin, this Aglianico requires thoughtful winemaking and time in bottle to fully reveal its depth and complexity. Pair it with hearty dishes like lamb, beef, or aged cheeses for a truly engaging experience.
