Beneventano Aglianico - Case of 6

""Aglianico is the fierce red grape of Campania. This captures some of its innate darkness; looming though the dense wine there's a sense of old grey stone and antiquity. Remarkable to find such truthfulness in an everyday-priced wine. Like many Italian reds this has buoyant acidity - which is another way of saying it's good with food. Think herby Tuscan sausages, hunter's kebabs or tomato gnocchi." Applies to 2011 Vintage"

"Mostly found in southern Italy, the Aglianico grape has earned its wines a formidable reputation. This one is a little beast, with abundant black fruits and a savoury edge to it"

""Aglianico is an ancient variety (thought to have to have been imported from Greece by the Romans) and can make wine of frightening proportions: dense, tannic and age worthy. This, though, is gentle, red-fruited introduction; perfumed and mid-weight, but with enough rustic edges to pair with a warming autumnal stew.""
