PERILLO

Aglianico from Perillo offers a powerful southern Italian red with dark fruit, firm tannin, high acidity, and volcanic-earth depth. As one of Italy's most important red 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, along with notes of leather, earth, and sometimes iron-like mineral notes. With thoughtful winemaking and time in bottle, these wines can develop into polished, cellar-worthy offerings that pair beautifully with robust dishes like lamb or aged cheeses.
