Villa Matilde Aglianico

Aglianico is a grape with thousands of years of history behind it. The grape was first brought to Italy by the Greeks in 800bc. Try Villa Matilde’s Aglianico Campania IGP 2017 for a classic varietal representation. Even if you don’t like to nerd out on ancient Roman and Greek history like I do, I’m sure you’re going to appreciate this wine.

ORIGIN

Campania, Italy

Grapes

100% Aglianico

Tasting Notes

Offers intense, long-lingering impressions of spice, wild blackberries, and ripe red berry fruit. The palate is warm, full-bodied, and velvety smooth. This full-volumed wine, modern in style, demonstrates in appealing and convincing fashion its intimate bond with its terroir of origin.

Food Match

Charcuterie, pizza and poultry dishes.
