Aglianico (alli-yawn-oco), known in Italy as the “grape of the plain”, is a late ripening, full-bodied red wine which is found almost exclusively in the Southern Italian regions of Campania and Basilicata. A mere hundreds of acres are grown in the United States with the Texas High Plains AVA being planted to around 100. Our traditional winemaking methods were applied to create a floral, red fruit scented, chocolatey wine with grippy tannins and refreshing lower alcohol content. This style of Aglianico needs sufficient oxygen to reveal abundant aromas and softer textures so please consider sufficient aeration before serving in large bowled wine glasses. Pairs well with BBQ brisket, smoked pork, carne asada, chili, and strong cheese.
