Tombacco wines are Italy’s version of quiet luxury, elegantly under the radar, steeped in heritage, and delivering way more sophistication than first appears. Cristian Tombacco and his family craft these wines with their hearts on their sleeves, traditional vineyards, minimalist methods, and a label design inspired by his grandfather’s bottles from 80 years ago.

If cool-climate Shiraz or Syrah is your thing, this Aglianico will feel like a stylish southern Italian cousin. This wine is clear and complex, with enjoyable hints of cherry and red berries fragrance, followed by a marked vanilla and spicy note. Excellent flavour, elegant and warm, sapid and full-bodied. Good length and persistence that leaves an enjoyable soft sensation and a pleasant mouth which asks for another sip. With nuances of cherry, plum and spice.
