Aglianico del Taburno

Aglianico del Taburno is Campania's mountain Aglianico: a robust, savoury red grown on the volcanic and clay-limestone slopes of the Taburno–Camposauro massif in the Sannio, inland from Benevento. Cooled by altitude, it keeps the grape's trademark high tannin and bright acidity but tends to a rounder, slightly more approachable style than austere Taurasi — dark plum and black cherry over dried herbs, earth, tobacco and a firm, savoury grip.
