Aglianico by La Rivolta organic winery comes from 30-year-old vines and is vinified partially in oak for 18 months and in the bottle for another 6 months. Oak passage allows developing aromas of vanilla, leather, tobacco, and coffee in addition to rich dark ripe fruit, black cherry, black plum, dried raspberry and dried roses. Always tannic, this Aglianico has elegant but intense long lasting tannins that allow to pair this red wine well with venison, rib eye steak, barbecue beef, smoked pork, buffalo burgers and cheeses like pecorino, parmeggiano or cheddar, and vegetable dishes roasted mushrooms, baked beans, lentils, purple potatoes and roasted cauliflower.
