Terre di Orazio Aglianico del Vulture / 2020 / 75cl

Cantina di Venosa was founded in 1957 and today has 400 grower members with 800 ha of vineyard. It is the largest producer of Aglianico wines in the Vulture area of Basilicata - here vines grow on the volcanic soils from the local Mount Vulture. The Aglianico grape is believed to have been introduced to the region by the Greeks in the 6th or 7th century BC.

A warm and richly-flavoured, oak-aged, Aglianico with aromas of ripe black fruit, cassis, leather and smoky notes. The generous palate is packed full of black berry fruits, with layers of spicy oak and mocha, and balancing bright acidity. Concentrated, with a good depth of flavour, and chunky yet supple tannins.
