Canio Aglianico del Vulture 2024
Case Buys Only | 6 x 750ml
Canio Aglianico del Vulture is a powerful yet polished southern Italian red grown on the volcanic slopes of Mount Vulture in Basilicata. Made entirely from Aglianico, it combines the grape's naturally firm structure with ripe fruit and a surprisingly supple texture, making the 2024 vintage approachable without losing its distinctive regional character. Dark, savoury and deeply flavoured, it is an excellent match for slow-cooked beef, grilled lamb, rich pasta dishes, charcuterie or mature cheeses.
What the winery says:
Produced by Vigneti del Vulture, the wine comes from high-altitude vineyards rooted in potassium-rich volcanic soils. Cold, rainy winters, cooling summer breezes and wide shifts between daytime and nighttime temperatures help preserve freshness while building concentration and aromatic intensity. Consultant winemaker Alberto Antonini guides a style focused on pure fruit, balance and the distinctive mineral character of Mount Vulture.
What the experts say:
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, 94/100 (2024 Vintage)
"Gorgeously fruited and perfumed, showing Black Doris plum, blueberry, rich floral, olive, and almond notes on the nose, followed by a succulent palate that's plump and flavoursome. Wonderfully structured by layers of polished tannins, making it robust and supple at the same time with a sustained, delectable finish."
