Aglianico del Vulture is a powerful red wine from Basilicata in southern Italy, crafted from the ancient Aglianico grape, which is believed to have been brought to the region by the Greeks as early as the 6th century BCE. Grown on the volcanic slopes of Mount Vulture, the grape thrives in the region’s mineral-rich soils and high-altitude vineyards, producing wines with depth, structure, and longevity. Aglianico del Vulture is known for its dark fruit flavors, firm tannins, and earthy notes of leather, tobacco, and spice, often requiring time to soften and reveal its complexity.
