Aglianico from Torre Varano showcases the classic characteristics of this powerful southern Italian grape variety. With its dark fruit, firm tannin, high acidity, and volcanic-earth depth, it offers a robust profile that can be both savory and cellar-worthy. While the origin is unknown, Aglianico's reputation rests on deeply structured wines from places such as Taurasi in Campania and Vulture in Basilicata. Expect flavors of black cherry, plum, blackberry, dried herbs, smoke, leather, earth, licorice, and sometimes iron-like mineral notes, with structure that requires thoughtful winemaking and time to fully unfold. Pair it with robust dishes like lamb, beef, or aged cheeses for a satisfying pairing experience.
