Aglianico Rosato is a distinguished rosé expression of the renowned Aglianico grape, predominantly cultivated in the southern Italian regions of Campania and Basilicata. This grape variety, typically revered for its robust red wines, also produces elegantly structured rosé wines with notable depth and complexity.
Aglianico Rosato is marked by an inviting bouquet of wild strawberries, sour cherry, red currant, and subtle hints of rose petal. On the palate, it delivers vibrant acidity and a mineral backbone, balanced by notes of red fruits, citrus zest, and delicate herbal nuances. The wine’s texture is refreshingly crisp yet displays a refined mouthfeel, making it both lively and versatile.
Typically, this rosato is crafted in a dry style, highlighting freshness and purity of fruit while maintaining the grape’s characteristic structure and savoury undertones. It is best enjoyed young to preserve its aromatic intensity.
Aglianico Rosato pairs exceptionally with grilled seafood, tomato-based pasta dishes, fresh salads, and soft cheeses. Its acidity and fruit-driven profile also complement Mediterranean cuisine, making it a superb choice for al fresco dining or as an aperitif during the warmer months.
