- The Aglianico grape is often referred to as the “Barolo of the South” due to its similar characteristics to the Nebbiolo grape used in Barolo wines.
The Taburno area is part of the larger Sannio wine region. It is characterized by its hilly terrain and proximity to Mount Taburno, which provides a unique microclimate beneficial for grape growing.
The Taburno area enjoys a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters. The elevation of the vineyards, often between 300 and 600 meters above sea level, provides cooler temperatures that help maintain the grapes’ acidity and freshness.
