Aglianico Sannio - Il Poggio
VinariusIn Vinarius, we have always had a crush on the Aglianico wines because of the concentrations, intensity, and firm tannins they can produce. Aglianico is a high-quality grape, and it is considered (together with Sangiovese and Nebbiolo) one of the three greatest Italian red varieties; it is responsible for outstanding, tannic, age-worthy, full-bodied reds. That's why his nickname is "Barolo of the South". Here we have a great example from one of the best regions in Campania.
A deep-coloured, full-bodied, well-structured red with a kind of articulate tannin - not too soft nor too rough - with coffee, spiced black plum and black cherry aromas. Serious and friendly at the same time, that can go very well with any red meat dish but also enjoyable on its own. A tremendous long finish.
