Aglianico del Vulture is an Italian appellation located in Basilicata (provincial of Potenza) that produces full-bodied red wines from Aglianico grapes. The vineyards are mostly located on the volcanic soils of Monte Vulture—which influences the distinctively rich and tannic structure of these wines.
They are usually dark ruby with typical aromas and flavors of dark fruit, which tend to develop into more complex nuances of earth, spices, and leather. Aglianico del Vulture wines tend to age incredibly well, becoming more refined and complex with age.
Because of their good tannic structure and great acidity, they make an excellent pairing with roasted or grilled meat, especially beef, game, and aged cheese.
