Casebianche | Aglianico
A rich raspberry licorice from Southern Italy
Stunning raspberry licorice and blackberry jelly candies. The fruit punch this wine delivers is mouthwatering. Hailing from Cilento, south of Naples, this native Aglianico (alli-yawn-nico) grape is the most typical variety in this part of southern Italy and considered one of the top Italian grapes along with Sangiovese and Nebbiolo. The wine is made using ancient methods, soaking on the skins for weeks giving the wine its inky color and rich texture.
