Aglianico from Torre Varano showcases the classic characteristics of this powerful southern Italian grape with dark fruit, firm tannin, high acidity, and volcanic-earth depth. While the 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 robust flavors including black cherry, plum, blackberry, dried herbs, smoke, leather, earth, licorice, and sometimes iron-like mineral notes. With thoughtful winemaking and time in bottle, these wines develop structure and age potential, making them a serious pairing for rich, flavorful dishes like lamb, beef, and grilled meats.
