This hearty Aglianico-based red hails from hillside vineyards near Beneventano in southern Italy's Campania region. Often referred to as the "Barolo of the South," Aglianico can be wonderfully versatile with a variety of foods. The Torlicoso is a medium-bodied version with ripe strawberry and wild herb aromas ramped up with luscious texture and juicy fruit flavors. Enjoy it with roasted or grilled mushrooms or fish with thyme, barbecued meats, grilled sausages, and any tomato-based pasta dishes.
