Aglianico

Aglianico, a dark-skinned grape variety, is believed to be one of the oldest cultivated in Italy, and it may have preceded other varieties such as syrah, negroamaro, and teroldego. The ancient Romans were known to consume this wine, but the phylloxera pest nearly wiped it out completely. After this devastation, the Mastroberardino family from Campania began producing wine in the region and played a significant role in the grape's resurgence and eventual success. The hot climate in the area is perfect for ripening aglianico, resulting in grapes that yield wines with a deep color, high acidity, and notable tannins.
