D'Angelo Aglianico del Vulture

Aglianico del Vulture, Italy

The classic Aglianico del Vulture expression from the region's oldest modern estate. Dark plum, sour cherry, volcanic mineral, dried herb, and leather with the variety's characteristic firm tannin structure. Requires aging but rewards patience with extraordinary complexity.

Pairing intelligence

• main: Southern Italian game pasta and southern Italian volcanic red — the wine's dark fruit and tannic structure handles the boar's gaminess; volcanic minerals add complexity
• main: The wine's earthy and iron character finds natural resonance with porcini; guanciale's fat is structured by the wine's firm tannins; a central Italian bridge from south to north
