Starnali’s Aglianico might very well be the greatest pizza wine ever and it also serves as a marvelous introduction to one of Italy’s most noble grapes. Possessing intense aromas and flavors of pepper, violet, pungent herb, leather, brown spice, cedar, bittersweet chocolate, and brambly berry, those savory nuances are driving the bus here. With time and air, the fruit comes out to play in the form of fresh blackberry, currant, and dark plum. Quite structured, full-bodied, and full-flavored, this oozes with classic Italian character and typicity.

The town of Montemarano in Irpinia possesses very good elevation at 550 meters, and loam-clay soils that are ideal for Aglianico. With this elevation and long growing season, the wine tends to be a bit more linear with elegant red berry and black fruit, not quite as intense in terms of alcohol and tannin as other Taurasi wines. That does not mean the wine lacks complexity or structure, rather notes of cedar and tobacco along with firm tannin are very prevalent.

A super approachable Aglianico that surprises with elegance and aromatics compared to the tannin and structure this grape is normally associated with. This starts with a fruity bouquet of red stone fruits such as cherry and plum and/or small berries from the undergrowth. The palate's richness is well-structured and modulated, imposing, exuberant, balsamic, radiant, and licorice-like.

This four-grower team joined forces in beautiful Tramonti in 2004, pooling together their pre-phylloxera plantings of ancient varieties along with their expertise. The base for their red blend is the Aglianico variety: typically powerful, savory, low-toned, and deeply tannic. However, here on the breathtaking Amalfi Coast, the gentle hands at Tenuta San Francesco's offer just a suggestion of those elements. By blending in native Campania varieties Tintore and Piedirosso they are able to achieve more freshness and lift: notes of bright red fruits and violets to go with the baritone expressions of tobacco and spice.

Aia delle Monache is a small winery focused on Organic and Low-Intervention winemaking using only the grapes only grown in the Caserta area of Campania. A unique blend of Casavecchia and Pallagrello Nero, this meant to be consumed a bit younger and fresher. Racy citrus notes of blood orange and black-skinned fruits mingle with just a touch of earthy spice, the liter is made with less skin contact and aging in steel for a brighter yet still supple red.

Vineyards for the Fiano are planted on opposite north/south sides of the Arianello hillside, indisputably one of the best locations for Fiano. One side is rich in complex volcanic soils and the other in clay and calcareous soils, resulting in a lively wine with white peach, lemon, lime and crushed stone on the nose, enhanced by elegant notes of flowers and aromatic herbs. A suggestion of beeswax like you'd expect from a grape like Falanghina, this Fiano has a wonderful texture and minerality to go with its white flowers and pear and stone fruits.

A smooth and fresh white wine that represents the magic of Sannio Beneventano, a charming land rich in mysterious stories. It has a bouquet of citrus, yellow fruits and aromatic herbs and the flavor is round and velvety, with fresh and savory aromas. Stain

Who says the best Fiano is found in Avellino? This wine is influenced both by the Mediterranean and a little bit of elevation, in the foothills of Salerno that lead one to the famous Avellino region. This wine has great structure and depth, proving why the Fiano grape is such a heralded one in Campania. Great aromas of white peach, apples, honey and chamomile. This wine finishes with that signature smokiness reminding us of some Northern European Rieslings. This smokiness is subtle and complements the fruit and adds further complexity to the wine.

Can't get to Italy? Then this is a taste of the Amalfi Coast right here in your glass! Tramonti Bianco is a distinctive white wine from the Amalfi Coast in Campania, Italy, known for its unique blend of indigenous grapes Falanghina, Biancolella, and Pepella. It's fresh, vibrant, and full of character, truly embodying the unique terroir of the Amalfi Coast. Full of white-fleshed fruits like white peach, green apple, pear, and melon. You'll also likely find bright citrus fruits, a touch of delicate florals, Italian herbs and a defined mineral core. It's begging to be paired with some fresh local seafood, a light pasta dish, or just enjoyed on its own on a beautiful Provincetown afternoon.
