Wine Details

Rocca Del Principe Aglianico Irpinia DOC

Along with the white Fiano, Aglianico is the most representative red wine from the Campania region in southern Italy. The Irpinia is produced from fruit grown on the esteemed Contrada Campore vineyard, at 500 meters (1640 feet) a.s.l. This is a rich and intense wine, with a complex array of aromas including red and black fruits, earth, spice and herbs. Though full in body with a long, velvety finish, this is a very approachable Aglianico, and undoubtedly a great value.

Rocca Del Principe Aglianico Irpinia DOC 2019

Wine Enthusiast (90)- "Tanned leather and brick dust show on the nose of this wine, along with cherries, blackberries and a peppery spice blend. Cherries and blackberries stay present and fresh on the palate, with a sweet but gamy cured-meat note and relentless tannins."
