Aglianico
Aglianico is a southern Italian red grape associated with Taurasi and Vulture. The technical profile describes early budbreak and a late harvest.
Regional populations
Rauscedo discusses material from Taurasi and Vulture together while noting differences that can also reflect growing conditions. It describes small-to-medium cylindrical bunches and round, relatively small berries. This entry keeps one variety count and does not claim that all selections are identical.
Ripeness and ageing
The profile describes structured, fruity red wines capable of developing with ageing. Humid conditions increase bunch-rot and sour-rot concerns, while prolonged drought can also cause difficulty. A Greek-introduction narrative appears in the nursery text, but is not treated here as established ancient history.
