Aglianico

Powerful, tannic reds with deep colour and tight structure, with aromas of black cherry, blackberry, leather, tobacco, coffee and balsamic-volcanic mineral notes. High acidity and very fine ageing potential, often compared to nebbiolo. Star of Taurasi DOCG in Campania and Aglianico del Vulture DOCG in Basilicata (vines planted on volcanic soils). Late-ripening southern Italian variety of probable ancient Greek origin.

Molinara

Light, lively reds with pale colour, discreet tannins and brisk acidity, with aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, gentle spices and herbal notes. Traditional partner to corvina and rondinella in the typical blends of Valpolicella DOC, Bardolino DOC, Amarone DOCG and Recioto DOCG, bringing freshness and tension. Native Venetian variety from Lake Garda.
