TORRE A ORIENTE

Torre A Orienté's Aglianico showcases the classic strengths of this powerful southern Italian grape, with dark fruit, firm tannin, high acidity, and volcanic-earth depth. Though the exact origin is unknown, Aglianico's reputation rests on its ability to produce deeply structured wines from places like Taurasi in Campania and Vulture in Basilicata. Expect rich flavors of black cherry, plum, and blackberry, along with notes of dried herbs, smoke, leather, earth, licorice, and sometimes iron-like mineral notes. The structure is imposing when young, but with thoughtful winemaking and time in bottle, it can develop into polished, cellar-worthy wines that pair beautifully with robust foods like lamb, beef, and grilled meats.
