Aglianico del Taburno

This wine is generally full-bodied and well-structured, showing the classic intensity of Aglianico. It balances rich fruit concentration with vibrant acidity and noticeable tannins, creating a wine that is robust yet refined. The style emphasizes depth, complexity, and the influence of Campania’s mountainous terrain and mineral-rich soils.

Winemaking process

The wine is produced from Aglianico grapes grown in the Taburno DOCG zone, where warm days and cool nights help develop concentration while preserving acidity. Winemaking typically focuses on extracting color and structure, with maturation that softens the tannins and enhances complexity while maintaining the grape’s natural intensity.

Tasting notes

On the palate, the wine is dry and structured, with concentrated dark fruit flavors, firm tannins, and a long, slightly savory finish with hints of spice.

Food pairings

Aglianico del Taburno pairs well with rich, flavorful dishes such as grilled or roasted red meats, lamb, game, hearty pasta, and aged cheeses. Its strong tannins and acidity help balance fatty and savory foods, making it ideal for robust Mediterranean cuisine.
