This wine is believed to be coming from the grapes which were cultivated for first time circa 2,500 years ago in Greece. "Aglianico" stands for "hellenic" to depict its origins. I am not sure what kind of grapes they use to make this wine, but it's nothing short of being one of the most noble wines I ever tried. Taste and nose are impossible to describe, they are that rich and amazing... All I can say is,- positively Zeus and the whole horde of Greek gods were certainly enjoying it a lot, untill it was transferred, as Olympic torch, to Romanish inhabitants of heavens... Our Pussi was told,-"Sucks to be you !" that day.
