2021 Aglianico

Introducing Hilmy Cellars exquisite Aglianico 2021. The nose delights with an abundance of cherry and plum notes, leading to a fruit-forward and inviting experience. With a balanced 12.4% alcohol content, this wine hails from the esteemed Veesart Vineyards, offering a lighter, more acidic red profile.

Pair this Aglianico 2021 with hearty, meaty dishes featuring a touch of richness, or complement its acidity with bold cheeses like blue and stinky varieties. It's a wine that beautifully balances fruitiness with a touch of acidity.

Crafted with a minimalist approach to oak aging, this Aglianico 2021 showcases the true essence of the varietal. In comparison to the more oak-forward Mourvèdre, enthusiasts of this style will find this Aglianico 2021 to be a softer, equally balanced choice.

For an optimal tasting experience, begin with a softer white wine before transitioning to this red. This shift from higher-acid whites to reds can enhance the overall palate experience. Serve whites first, followed by Rose, chilled reds, reserving table reds for the grand finale.

On the palate, expect a delightful interplay of pomegranate, cranberry, mulberry, and red berries, complemented by a subtle hint of pepper and boysenberry. With its vibrant acidity, this Aglianico 2021 promises excellent aging potential of 5 to 6 years, ensuring it evolves gracefully over time.

In the 2021 vintage, we made a strategic decision to harvest a touch earlier due to late rains. This choice has resulted in a wine that's poised to stand the test of time. Elevate your wine collection with our Aglianico 2021 – a testament to meticulous craftsmanship and balanced sophistication. Cheers to a remarkable journey in every sip!
