Aglianico | Grape variety

Bolonero Castel del Monte Rosso DOC 2019

Ruby red, partly garnet color in the glass. In the aroma stimulating and harmonious of ripe fruit, accented by notes of tobacco. The palate is complex, elegant and wonderfully drinkable. The tannins are soft and balanced. Bolonero is the entry-level wine of Torrevento and, along with Vigna Pedale, also one of the most famous. A great Apulian red and times no Primitivo. - Gerardo

Aglianico Campania IGT 2020

Pure varietal Aglianico from Campanian hillside: ruby red color with violet red inclusions. Typical vinous bouquet with lots of fruit and light pepper notes. Rich in tannins and fine spice on the palate. - Gerardo

Cappellaccio Aglianico Riserva DOC 2014

Pure varietal Aglianico of strong ruby color and garnet reflections. Intense aroma, with typical Aglianico spice and impressions of prunes, black pepper, wood spice and some leather. On the palate of good density and structure and integrated tannins, persistent. - Gerardo

"The delightful Castel del Monte Aglianico Riserva Cappellaccio is one of the best expressions of this noble Italian grape made in Puglia. Aglianico is associated with the regions of Campania and Basilicata, but has been making its way into Puglian winemaking in recent years. This balanced vintage opens to dark fruit aromas with background notes of cola, licorice and blue flower. Aglianico normally shows strong mineral characteristics and you get some of those dusty tones of granite and slate here. They remain very much in the background." - Robert Parker

"A firm and focused red in an old-school style, layering taut tannins with flavors of dried cherry and currant, underbrush, black olive tapenade and a sweet hint of fig bread. Fresh, balanced finish." - Wine Spectator

Aglianico IGT 2018

Rich, purplish red color with ruby reflections. Dense and elegant nose of black cherries, plums and licorice. In the drink crisp and tart, with spicy freshness. Remarkable finish. 100% Aglianico. - Gerardo

"A successful debut we attest to the fragrant Aglianico with fleshy body and the acidity to match." - Slow Wine

Lago della Pergola Negroamaro IGT 2018

Negroamaro Lago della Pergola is dark red in color with violet reflections. Intense spicy notes and aromas of red fruits characterize the elegant, delicate fragrance. Impressions of blackberries and ripe plums mingle with the toasty aromas of oak. The fresh, full flavor plays out to a crisp fruit still silky soft tannins and has a pleasing persistence thanks to the moderate acidity. - Gerardo

"With goudron notes in the aroma of ripe dark fruit as well as a full flavor, the Lago della Pergola, a blend of Negroamaro, Cabernet and Aglianico, is content." - Gambero Rosso

Titolo Aglianico del Vulture DOC 2013

Titolo is the result of the Fucci family's still young viticultural project. Together with her father Salvatore, Elena Fucci has created something impressive: This single-varietal Aglianico exudes a beguiling, ethereal aroma with distinct spicy notes. Pronounced, voluminous flavors of sour cherries, currants, rosemary and cinnamon followed by slight hints of vanilla. Soft and dry of great structure and excellent length. - Gerardo

"If the modern wine looks like the Titolo, then we can only say yes to it out loud." - Gambero Rosso

'Kudos to Salvatore Fucci and his daughter Elena, that have produced the umpteenth excellent aglianico from grapes harvested from perhaps the best vineyard of the whole zone. A very fine wine with plenty of plum, rose, tabacco and black cherry aromas and flavours. usual telltale-fine tannins on the long clean finish." - Ian D'Agata (Guida ai Miglori Vini d'Italia)
