2025 Aglianico
When we first planted Aglianico we wanted to create a wine with complexity! There is no better way to infuse complexity into a wine by using different clones of the same grape variety. For many years there has only been one clone of Aglianico in Australia, but in recent time the importation of new clones have provided new options.
"Vanilla oak, clove, nutmeg, black cherry, blackcurrant, mulberry, liquorice root, violets. Classic Aglianico del Vulture in style with pleasant bitterness, restraint, and freshening acidity. Great to age"
"Juicy, jammy fruit sweetness on palate with beautiful tannin structure, lengthy and luscious.” Deep Dive Australia's Best Aglianico Judges
The Story
The Ricca Terra Aglianico is a blend of the Vulture and Taurus clones. The clones creates a wine that has a deep colour and rich flavours. Assisting these new clones in how they are managed! They are hand pruned. They are placed in cold storage immediately after being select harvested.
Once in the winery, a portion of the delivered grapes are not crushed, rather the whole/uncrushed bunches are added to the ferment, which adds complexity to the final wine.
Grown using sustainable farming practices and vegan friendly.
