BELLARIA

Bellaria Aglianico offers a powerful southern Italian red wine with dark fruit, firm tannin, high acidity, and volcanic-earth depth. As one of Campania and Basilicata's most important grapes, it can produce wines of formidable structure and longevity, though the exact origin remains unknown. Expect rich flavors such as black cherry, plum, and dried herbs, complemented by notes of smoke, leather, earth, and sometimes iron-like mineral notes. The wine benefits from thoughtful winemaking and aging in large casks or barrels to showcase its classic style. Bellaria's Aglianico is best paired with robust dishes like grilled meats, aged cheeses, and tomato-rich sauces that can complement its tannins and acidity.
