Aglianico from DONATO D'ANGELO offers a robust expression of this powerful southern Italian grape with dark fruit, firm tannin, high acidity, and volcanic-earth depth. While specific details about appellation or style are unknown at this time, Aglianico's classic zones in Taurasi and Vulture showcase its ability to produce deeply structured wines that require thoughtful winemaking and aging. Expect notes of black cherry, plum, blackberry, dried herbs, smoke, leather, earth, licorice, and sometimes iron-like mineral notes, with a structure that can be imposing when young but rewarding for those who appreciate the grape's serious character. This wine pairs beautifully with hearty foods like lamb, beef, braised pork, aged cheeses, bitter greens, tomato-rich sauces, mushrooms, and grilled meats.
