A young easy to drink style of wine it has soft berry flavours and soft subtle oak characters. It has a delightfully finish. Food pairings: It accompanies traditional Mediterranean dishes including sliced meats, soups and pasta dishes, lasagna, white meats and light main courses. Serve at 18°c. Region Description. One of the higher-quality red wine grapes found in southern Italy, mainly in Camapgnia and Basilicata. The best 100 percent Aglianico wines come from Taurasi, followed by those from Aglianico del Vulture, and both have DOC status. These wines are noted for their roughness when young due to high tannins, noticeable acidity, and a dense concentration of flavors. As these wines mature, they exhibit great balance, with subtle fruit flavors and earthy, tarry, and chocolaty characteristics. |
