features
prefers hilly land, mostly of volcanic origin, or calcareous clay, however, of good constitution even if it has good adaptability towards the ground.
In some areas of cultivation (Taurasi - Vulture) you can find the vineyards with excellent results in 700 to 900 meters above sea level. It resists the cryptogams in general (powdery mildew and downy mildew), suffers from high temperatures and prolonged drought.
E 'grape which is rich in polyphenols, such as Nebbiolo and Sagrantino, which needs a strong and accurate clonal selection, low yields and a balanced choice about the type of wood, on the amount and length of stay in barrels large or small, used for aging.
Aglianico is a grape grumpy: ripens late, is intense and sharp in principle, difficult to cultivate and very difficult to make wine, with tannins that need time to be softened and acidity that ensures the necessary time to smooth. Unique in the notes of purple, black cherries, berries and small fruits, the wine may make its banal or sublime. History and Origins
The vine has ancient origins and is set in the Campania region: in the areas around Mount Vesuvius, Irpinia, in the provinces of Salerno, Caserta and Benevento, where alone or in blends fall into several DOC. Coupling in the Mediterranean with the first settlements of the Greek colonies, as witnessed by its original name, or Hellenic Ellanico, whose pronunciation has changed over the period of English rule in Campania among the XV - XVI century, replacing the double "ll" English in "gl". The vine is a plant itinerant, even Aglianico has spread and fits very well with the different climates of Campania and southern Italy. The earliest records date back to the top of the grape and the 800 are due to Columella Onorati.

From grapes Aglianico DOCG Campania produces the only red grape, Taurasi, produced only in the 17 municipalities of the province Avellino (Taurasi, Bonito, Castelfranco, Castelvetere the Heat, Fontanarosa, Lapine, Luogosano, Mirabella Eclano, Montefalcione, Montemarano, Montemiletto, Paternopoli, Pietradefusi, bait Sant'Angelo, San Mango sul Calore, The Tower and Nocelle Venticano) . Since 2005 in the same region but with wider scope than was allowed even with the new DOC Iripinia Taurasini sub-fields, which provides for the production of wine made from Aglianico grapes.
studies in recent years promoted by the Campania region on the DNA of the different biotypes of Aglianico, made in collaboration with Prof. Luigi Moio, Professor of Enology at the University Federico II, Dr. Michele Beef former regional official and now director Se.Si.RCA dell'Ismecert and Prof. Eugenio Pomarici Professor of Agricultural Economics and Policy at the Federico II, have shown that the Aglianico di Taurasi, Vulture and Taburno are genetically identical, even whether from a morphological feature of the differences. Moreover, diversity is also the territories where it is grown and the adaptation of different clones of the sites and the different microclimates.
