A pure Aglianico from Feudi di San Gregorio's 4-hectare Vigneto dal Re in Irpinia, aged six months in French barriques. Black cherry, liquorice and sweet spice frame unusually soft tannins: a characterful Campanian red for red meat and baked pasta.
Bright ruby red from 100% Aglianico grown on the volcanic Vigneto dal Re. Six months in French barriques round the grape's firm tannins into something supple, while black cherry, raspberry, liquorice and sweet spice carry to a long finish.
Bright ruby red, then black cherry and raspberry, the small red fruits Feudi names on its Dal Re sheet. Behind them sit liquorice and the sweet spice that six months in French barrique coaxes out, with a violet lift typical of Irpinian Aglianico.

LiquoriceMedium-bodied and, for Aglianico, unusually soft: the tannins read as silky rather than gripping, the trait drinkers single out across Vivino. Fruit from the volcanic Vigneto dal Re at 400 to 700 metres keeps the acidity bright, so black cherry and liquorice stay fresh through the middle.
The 14% alcohol stays tucked in, and the close is long and gently spiced, leaving liquorice and a hint of French-oak warmth rather than heat.
A characterful, approachable face of Irpinian Aglianico that 1,944 Vivino ratings settle at a solid 3.6, with the 2022 rated higher at 3.8. It sits a step above Feudi's everyday Rubrato as a single-vineyard Selezioni red, best with food and drinking well now through the late 2020s.
The 2022 Dal Re sells in the UK from about £14 to £19, depending on retailer and stock. It is the single-vineyard step up from Feudi's everyday Rubrato, so the extra outlay buys more concentration and a little French-oak polish.
A data-led read on where this Irpinian Aglianico earns its keep: at the table, on value, for newcomers to southern reds, in the cellar, as an everyday bottle, and for an occasion.
Bright Aglianico acidity and soft tannins make Dal Re a versatile match for tomato sauces, grilled red meat and aged Pecorino.
Soft, fruit-forward and free of Taurasi's grip, it is an easy first step into Campania's great red grape.
Around £14 buys single-vineyard Irpinian Aglianico a clear step above Feudi's entry Rubrato, strong value for the pedigree.
Food-friendly acidity, gentle tannin and a sub-£20 price make it an easy midweek red with more character than most.

Feudi di San Gregorio farms around 300 hectares at Sorbo Serpico in Avellino. Dal Re is one of its Selezioni wines, drawn from a single 4-hectare plot, set above the entry Rubrato and below the Serpico and Taurasi cuvees.
Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.
Irpinia is in the DOC tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.
Irpinia falls within Campania , covering Avellino.
Dal Re comes off one 4-hectare plot of Feudi's own Irpinian vineyards, a tighter and costlier selection than the multi-vineyard Rubrato beneath it in the range.
Mountain-slope fruit on volcanic soils at the foot of the Apennines means lower yields and hand-worked steep sites, both of which lift the cost per bottle.
French barrique ageing adds barrel cost and cellar time that a steel-only entry red avoids, part of why Dal Re prices above Rubrato.
Aglianico ripens late and the wine rests six further months in bottle before release, tying up stock and cellar space ahead of sale.
Bottled as Irpinia Aglianico DOC rather than the pricier Taurasi DOCG, Dal Re skips the longer mandated ageing and prestige premium, holding the UK price near £14 to £19.
UK alcohol duty of £2.67 a bottle plus 20% VAT account for roughly £5.50 of a £17 UK shelf price, before shipping and retailer margin.
Dishes that complement this wine
Aglianico holds bright acidity even when ripe, so Dal Re cuts tomato ragu and fatty red meat without drying the palate. The producer points to soups, roasts and baked pasta; Irpinia's own table leans on lamb.
Aglianico keeps firm acidity even when ripe, so Dal Re slices through the tomato and melted cheese of lasagna or a charred pizza without tiring. Its dark cherry echoes the sweetness of a slow-cooked sugo.

Soft tannins and bright acidity cut the fat of a Lucanian lamb ragu or a rare Fiorentina while the fruit stands up to the char. This is the Irpinian template: structured Aglianico against rich southern meat.
Try with: Agnello Ragu Lucano · Fiorentina steak · Brasato al Barolo · More pairings →
The wine's liquorice and sweet-spice edge bridges the fennel and herbs of porchetta, while gentle tannin keeps pace with crisp, fatty pork. A Campanian answer to a Sunday roast.
Try with: Porchetta · Cotoletta alla bolognese · More pairings →
The salt and fat of a mature Pecorino or a stuffed Caciocavallo soften Aglianico's tannins and refresh the palate. The wine's dark fruit flatters the nuttiness of a hard sheep's cheese.
Try with: Pecorino sardo e pan carasau · Caciocavallo farcito · More pairings →
Medium body and a savoury, leathery undertone sit with the umami weight of porcini without flattening the risotto's creaminess. Aglianico's acidity stops the dish turning heavy.
Try with: Porcini mushroom risotto · More pairings →
Aglianico's tannin and 14% alcohol amplify chilli burn and bury delicate raw fish. Pour a crisp Fiano di Avellino or Greco di Tufo with sushi, and a cool, aromatic Falanghina with a fiery curry instead.
Skip with: vindaloo · sushi · oysters · sweet-and-sour pork · Pairing guide →
This is not a wine that demands a decade, but Aglianico's tannin and acidity give the 2022 a comfortable four-to-six-year window. Store it on its side at cellar temperature and decant young bottles for half an hour.
Peak around 2026. Best in the years above; holds without falling over either side.
A short splash decant softens the first-pour edge and opens the aromatics.
Aglianico's structure gives a four-to-six-year window, but this Selezioni bottling is built more for drinking than long cellaring.
£16.90 is the lowest tracked offer for the current vintage and we have no signal of further discounting.
