Aglianicone is a red wine grape native to Italy where it is grown in the Basilicata and Campania regions, around Salerno and Benevento in the case of the latter. In Basilicata Aglianicone is found in the Castel San Lorenzo DOC (85-100% of the blend). 

Other names: Aglianico Femmina or Aglianichello (Aglianicone was thought to be a sub-variety of Aglianico). 

Viticulture: Normal vigour. Aglianicone’s reduced fertility and low yield results from millerandage. 

Wine style: Full bodied, and tannic–like Aglianico but with more fruit and less spice.
