ANGLIANCO Origin: Italy
Hither & Yon
Aglianico, from the volcanic soils of Campagnia and Basilicata in Italy, is a noble grape variety. And just like the region, it’s not one you stumble across, but seek out for a new experience. The folk at Hither & Yon see their aglianico as the chance to make fine, compelling wine on the savoury, earthy side. Wild mint and violet scents lead you onto a long textural palate of black berries, salted olives, oregano, leather and spice. Rustic, but charming. RRP $33
BARBERA Origin: Italy
Zerella Wines ‘La Gita’ Barbera 2017
While still regarded as an exotic variety in Australia, barbera is one of the most widely planted red varieties in Italy. Hailing from Piemonte in the north-west, barbera is considered a more approachable, earlier drinking variety when compared to its Piedmontese cousin, nebbiolo. As displayed in the La Gita Barbera, the variety is known for its dark berry fruit flavours, moderate tannins and bright acidity, producing a style ever so suited to slow-cooked comfort food. RRP $35
