Irpinia Aglianico DOC - Sertura Winery

S peaking Aglianico means referring to the most illustrious and important red grape variety in Southern Italy. With very ancient origins, it generates a very structured wine characterized by longevity and consistency even if drunk after many years. It is precisely with the passing of time, in fact, that it expresses all its characteristics and emphasizes distinctive properties and unique aromas.

Aglianico, widespread in its territorial variants mainly in Campania and Basilicata, prefers volcanic soils and finds its maximum expression in Irpinia with the production of Aglianico DOC and its renowned evolution, Taurasi DOCG.

Excellent acidity and great tannins are the elements that characterize Aglianico DOC, a young and fruity wine, with a strong character and intense flavor.
