Taste The Grape: Aglianico of Italy

Aglianico is one of Italy’s most prestigious red grape varieties, often referred to as the “Barolo of the South” due to its powerful, tannic structure coupled with elegance and refinement. Similar to the renowned Nebbiolo grape, Aglianico has an exceptional ability to convey the unique characteristics of different terroirs, resulting in a diverse range of wine styles. The finest examples of Aglianico can rival the complexity and aging potential of great Barolos. In this masterclass led by our renowned Italian wine expert, Justin Chen, participants will have the opportunity to delve deeply into the intricacies of this magnificent grape variety.

艾格尼科是義大利高貴的紅葡萄品種之一，因其單寧結構和優雅細緻的品質，常被稱為「南方的巴羅洛」。與內比奧羅葡萄類似的艾格尼科，能完美表達不同產區風土特色，因此能酿造出風格各異的葡萄酒。最優秀的艾格尼科佳釀的複雜度和陳年潛力毫不遜色於偉大的巴羅洛媲美葡萄酒。在這次大師班，著名的義大利葡萄酒專家Justin Chen 將與我們深入了解這一偉大的葡萄品種。
