Wines Aglianico del Taburno Podere di San Bruno

Viniou Reviews

The Aglianico del Taburno from Podere di San Bruno is an Italian red wine hailing from the Campania region. Known for its robust and tannic structure, Aglianico is a celebrated grape variety yielding full-bodied wines. The absence of a specified vintage, or "Non millésimé," can indicate a blend of various years, often balancing consistency and quality. Campania's volcanic soils and Mediterranean climate impart unique minerality and vibrant acidity to its wines. The region’s rich cultural history and fertile terroir contribute significantly to the style of this Aglianico. Podere di San Bruno is recognized for its dedication to traditional methods, ensuring a genuine expression of the Campanian viticulture heritage.

This Aglianico pairs wonderfully with hearty Italian dishes such as osso buco or a rich ragu served over polenta. The tannins in the wine complement grilled or roasted meats, especially lamb or beef. For a regional touch, consider a Campanian delicacy like "salsiccia e friarielli" (sausage and broccoli rabe), whose rustic flavours harmonize beautifully with the wine's bold character.

For optimal enjoyment, serve this wine at a temperature of 16-18°C. Decanting the wine for approximately an hour will allow it to breathe and fully release its array of aromas and flavours. When tasting, first observe the wine's deep ruby colour. On the nose, look for notes of dark fruits, spices, and a hint of earthiness. Take a moment to appreciate the initial bouquet before tasting, allowing you to fully savour the wine's balance and complexity.
