D'Angelo, Aglianico del Vulture

This flagship red perfectly captures the character of the Aglianico grape grown in the volcanic soils of Monte Vulture, in the tiny, mountainous region of Basilicata. Wedged between Puglia (the “heel”) and Calabria (the “toe”) in southern Italy, Basilicata has historically been one of its poorest and least-traveled regions, meaning historic family wineries like D’Angelo have toiled in relative obscurity—despite having one of Italy’s noblest red grapes, and greatest terroirs, at its disposal. This is a master class in Aglianico: dark-fruited and brooding, smoky, woodsy, stony, aromatically complex and utterly unique. Monte Vulture is a spent volcano known for its dark, mineral-rich, rust-hued basalt soils.

Italy

Northwestern Italy

Piedmont

Italy’s Piedmont region is really a wine “nation”unto itself, producing world-class renditions of every type of wine imaginable: red, white, sparkling, sweet...you name it! However, many wine lovers fixate on the region’s most famous appellations—Barolo and Barbaresco—and the inimitable native red that powers these wines:Nebbiolo.

Tuscany

Chianti

The area known as “Chianti” covers a major chunk of Central Tuscany, from Pisa to Florence to Siena to Arezzo—and beyond. Any wine with “Chianti” in its name is going to contain somewhere between 70% to 100% Sangiovese, and there are eight geographically specific sub-regions under the broader Chianti umbrella.
