The "Barolo of the South" โ a tannic, age-worthy red from volcanic soils. Taurasi DOCG (Campania) and Aglianico del Vulture (Basilicata) are the top expressions.
๐ก Pro tip: Taurasi needs 10+ years to show its best. Visit Mastroberardino or Feudi di San Gregorio in Irpinia for the definitive experience.
Where to start
Buy a bottle of Aglianico from a local enoteca, open it with dinner, and let the wine tell you about the region.
