Castel del Monte Aglianico DOC is, as the name suggests, produced from the Aglianico grape (90-100%) with the permitted addition of other local, non-aromatic red grapes (0-10%).
The color ranges from ruby red to garnet red, and it has a delicate, distinctive aroma. The taste is dry, full-bodied and balanced.
Castel del Monte Aglianico DOC is also available as a barrel aged version, Castel del Monte Aglianico Riserva DOC, and well as a rosé type, Castel del Monte Aglianico Rosato DOC.
‘Rubicolo di Rivera’ from the Rivera winery is especially promising.
Enjoyed for red meat and seasonal cheeses.

Did you know?
That Italy in 2011 was the worlds largest wine producer?
If you envision Sicily as an independent country, it would have the world’s seventh largest wine production, but despite the large quantities, the quality is high and steadily increasing. Today, Sicily has Italy’s third-largest wine production, and the island’s wine is Southern Italy’s most stable in terms of quality.
