Aglianico "Pezza la Corte" Taburno DOCG, why we love it and why you'll love it too!

It’s a journey into time and terroir. Aglianico “Pezza La Corte” comes from one of Ocone’s most treasured plots and delivers everything you’d want in an aged southern red.
From the first swirl, it charms you with its deep ruby hue. The nose tells a layered story: ripe cherries, a whisper of blackberries, and that comforting scent of toasted tobacco and spice. Then comes the palate—rich, smooth, and full of soul. Velvety tannins hold everything together like a warm embrace.
Whether you’re slow-roasting lamb or just slow-dancing through dinner, this is the kind of wine that makes the moment linger. You’ll love it for its elegance, complexity, and undeniable warmth.

Ocone

Nestled in the unspoiled heart of the Taburno, Ocone winery grows its vineyards with a deep respect for nature and innovation.
The estate stretches across a unique area framed by the Taburno massif, the Matese mountains, and the easternmost ridge of the Apennines. Soils are mostly alluvial, rich in stones and minerals. White grapes like Falanghina thrive in the clay-rich parcels, while red grapes like Aglianico grow on limestone-rich soils.

Today, the winery is driven by a team of young professionals with a shared goal: combining innovation and quality while preserving the legacy of their land.
Since October 2019, Ocone has taken bold steps towards sustainability. Water use is carefully managed, biological treatment systems are in place, and renewable energy powers the winery. From materials to architectural choices, every detail is designed with the planet in mind.
The result? Wines that reflect both the roots of tradition and the spirit of modernity.

Aglianico – The Dark Jewel of Southern Italy

Aglianico is one of Italy’s most powerful and long-lived red grapes. It thrives in the volcanic soils of Campania and Basilicata. With deep color, firm tannins, and vibrant acidity, Aglianico wines are bold, bursting with dark berries, tobacco, leather, and spice.
Aged Aglianico, like Taurasi, gains complexity. It pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, game, and aged cheeses. Aglianico del Vulture delivers a structured yet approachable style with a rich, mineral-driven profile.
For those who appreciate deep, complex wines with outstanding aging potential, Aglianico is a must-try!
