Description
Delicious Aglianico wine from the Italian quality winery Antonio Caggiano in Campania . One of the top wineries we're proud to be associated with! That's why this beautiful winery is included in our exclusive Grand Cru selection.
A beautiful red wine with the characteristics of the Aglianico grape. This Tauri Aglianico Dell'Irpinia is made from vines grown in Taurasi. The vineyards are located approximately 350 meters above sea level and are surrounded by an atmosphere of folklore, ancient traditions, historic architecture, and religion. The town of Taurasi boasts a historic center with astonishing architectural masterpieces and ancient artwork. Ancient churches and chapels enhance the area with its many folkloric festivals and traditions. Taurasi is an important wine center for the region. The soil of the vineyards is a mixture of clay and limestone.
The grapes for this wine are always harvested quite late in the season, around late October or early November. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures in stainless steel vats. The wine ages in barriques for approximately four to six months, depending on the grapes.
The wine has a beautiful ruby red color and a delightful aroma of red forest fruits and black plums. Its superb flavor is due to the excellent combination of herbs and fruit and pleasant tannins. For an Aglianico, the wine is soft and lingering, with lovely hints of dark pepper and green chili pepper. Delicious to drink immediately, but aging for a few years will only enhance this wine. James Suckling writes in his review: "This is a gorgeous young Aglianico."
Pairs beautifully with dishes featuring fine beef or lamb. Also delicious with pasta dishes.
FACT: In the tab: Attachment, you'll find the official fact sheet for this fine wine. We'll automatically send it to you when you order this wine. The wine is stored in our climate-controlled Wine Warehouse, and if you pick it up, you'll also receive a nice discount.

This is really bright and beautiful with black-pepper and dark-berry character. Medium body, fine tannins and a pretty finish. A gorgeous young aglianico.

Deep inky purple. Aromas and flavors of black cherry, red currant, ink and herbs. There’s exceptional intensity to the floral and fruit flavors for an entry-level wine; better still, this lovely, rich red manages to stay light on its feet and never fatigues the palate. The best young Taurì in years, it punches way above its weight class. Well done.

Antonio Caggiano - the 'Barolo of the South'
The Italian winery Antonio Caggiano is located in the wine region of Campania in the municipality (and also DOCG) of Taurasi. Taurasi is an important wine center for the region and you will also find yourself in an atmosphere of folklore, ancient traditions, historical architecture and religion. The city of Taurasi has a historic city center with amazing architectural masterpieces and ancient art pieces. Old churches and chapels beautify the area with its many folkloric festivals and traditions.
The wines from the spectacular winery Antonio Caggiano are all very special. The top wine is the Taurasi Vina Macchia dei Goti, also known as the 'Barolo of the South'. Furthermore, the winery makes the beautiful Fiano di Avelino and Greco di Tufo, from the 2 most typical white grapes from the Campania. Both wines are named after distant places that Caggiono visited as a photographer. The winery makes 3 different DOCGs and only a few copy them. The Macchia was voted best red Aglianico wine in the New York Times and we totally agree.
History
The winery founder, Antonio Caggiano, is quirky and outgoing. In addition to being a winemaker, he has been a passionate and enthusiastic photographer who has traveled all over the world for years. From the cold of the Artic countries to the African desert, from the United States to South America and finally to the old family vineyard (Salae Domini) to work on the realization of his winery founded in 1990. Driven by an irresistible desire to give a voice to the history & traditions of his beloved Taurasi, Antonio decided to start his own winery.
The winery has beautiful cellars with numerous fascinating small tunnels, built and designed by Antonio, who is also an architect. These cellars are not only the place where barriques, bottles and barrels are kept, but they also represent a real museum of wine growing. In every corner, on every wall and in the multiple recesses in the stone walls, the typical tools and objects used by winemakers can be admired. In addition to the tools and vessels, there is a variety of wood, glass and stone artwork, some of which were created by Antonio himself and others received as gifts from artist friends.
Antonio started this winery partly for his own pleasure, and partly for the challenge. Not only to rediscover the aromas and flavors previously lost in Taurasi wine, but also to create a small museum of farming tools used in the past. The winery has a modern technical structure with an authentic style. Visitors are welcome to wander through the cellars, giving the impression of a mysterious underground land made between walls of large stones, arches and vaults. These great cellars are therefore one of the distinguishing features of this winery.
The company is currently run by Antonio's son Giuseppe. Giuseppe, helped by his father and thanks to meticulous and passionate hard work in the vineyard and winery, has contributed to achieving a quality, distinctive style that has marked winery Antonio Caggiano as one of the best representatives of Irpinia wines.
