Through the skilled hands of the Tagaro winemakers, this wine stands as a clear testament to the harmonious blend of classic elegance and modern flair.
Aglianico - The "Prince" of Campania Grapes
Crafted from 100% Aglianico grapes, Tagaro Pinataro Aglianico showcases the distinctive traits of this varietal. Aglianico is renowned as the "Prince of Campania's grape varieties," with a long history deeply rooted in Southern Italy. These small, thick-skinned grapes are rich in tannins, lending the wine a firm structure, complexity, and excellent aging potential. The climate and terroir of the Itria Valley also contribute to the unique character of Tagaro Pinataro Aglianico. This land lies within a karstic depression, stretching along the slopes of the Murge plateau. Warm summers and mild winters with light snowfall that helps cleanse the soil create ideal conditions for vine growth. It is this harmonious interplay between climate, terroir, and grape variety that gives Tagaro Pinataro Aglianico its distinctive flavor.
