Hadn’t tried an Aglianico for a while so I picked this off the all Italian Wine List at Radici Pasta House at Coolangatta. Rustic Full bodied and Full flavoured - also good value. Went well with Spaghetti Amatriciano. Back Story: Aglianico is one of the oldest varietals planted in Italy. It was originally planted by early Greek settlers. Thick and dark skinned producing wines of power and concentration.

A gift from the Italian Chamber of Commerce event, this is much better than expected.
A civilized Aglianico yet retains its rustic charm. Supple and easy drinking. Tannins are quite refined for a Aglianico at this age.
Taburno is one of the 3 Aglianico DOCG’s, Taurasi being the most famous one.

Aglianico. A little fuller bodies than expected. But very good.

2008. Not my favorite. Tasted like a bottle that had been on the rack a bit too long.

2008. Sitting at the A16 bar watching my friends work on a night I used to. I never would have guessed it but Aglianico tastes like home.
