Aglianico is a red grape variety that produces a tannic and full-bodied red wine. Due to the late ripening, the grape variety is exclusively cultivated in the south of Italy and warm regions, for example in Australia and California. Aglianico red wine is often produced on volcanic rocks and extinct volcanoes. Aglianico is also known as the Barolo of the South, suggesting its high quality from cultivation to vinification as well as its well-structured and aromatic body
The optimal drinking temperature for Aglianico wine is between 15 and 18°C.
