Rocca Del Dragone Aglianico, Campania

Aglianico is one of the top red grape varieties in southern Italy. It is best known as the constituent of Taurasi DOCG, which can take many years to reach maturity. However in the capable hands of Rocca del Dragone the grape is picked fully ripe and the extraction balanced to ensure a fine, gentle tannic structure. This is an impressive, serious and yet drinkable red that shows off modern Italian wine-making.

A dry red wine with deep, youthful red colour.  Black cherry and mulberry flavours combine with sweet vanilla notes from oak. It is powerful and intense but with a light and accessible tannic structure and a delicate spice that enhances the finish.
