Vinosia
Vinosia's barrique-aged Irpinia Aglianico DOC from the hills around Paternopoli: blackberry, plum, vanilla and delicate liquorice over smooth, polished tannins. The Ercolino family's earlier-drinking southern red, about £16 in the UK.
Notes drawn from the Eurowines 2022 datasheet, Vinosia's importer sheets and a 4,041-rating Vivino consensus: black fruit, vanilla and liquorice around Aglianico's polished tannin.
Ripe blackberry and plum lead, layered with the vanilla and delicate liquorice the Eurowines 2022 datasheet describes, plus a hint of sweet paprika. Vivino's 383-review taste summary puts oak and vanilla first (88 mentions), with black fruit close behind and an earthy, smoky undertone.

Liquorice
VanillaFull-bodied and dry, with polished tannins from roughly two weeks on the skins and complete malolactic fermentation, part of it run in French oak. Aglianico grown in the hills around Paternopoli, inside the Taurasi district, keeps the acidity fresh under the dark-berry fruit; 13.5% ABV, best served at 16 to 18C.
Long and persistent, closing on liquorice, black pepper and the smoke-and-leather edge that Vivino's 57 earthy mentions flag.
Vinosia's earlier-drinking Aglianico, the Irpinia DOC rung below the Santandrea Taurasi DOCG in the Ercolino range. Drinkers score it 3.8/5 across 4,041 Vivino ratings, with the 2022 at 4.0; drink now to around 2028.
Eurowines lists the 2022 at £15.96 a bottle (£95.76 for six, including VAT), against European retail around 10 to 12 euros; the gap is mostly duty, VAT and freight on a Campanian DOC red.
Scores reflect a £15.96 barrique-aged DOC red from Vinosia's 100-hectare Irpinia estate: strong with food, kind to Aglianico newcomers, modest as a long-term cellar hold.
Aglianico's fresh acidity and Neromora's barrique-polished tannin handle braised lamb, roast beef, mushroom dishes and aged caciocavallo, the classic band for a mid-tannin, high-acid southern red.
A 100% Aglianico DOC softened by complete malolactic and six to eight months in barrique is the approachable door into a grape whose Taurasi expressions demand patience.
Derived editorially (price aggregate not yet built): £15.96 at Eurowines against a European average around 10 euros and a 3.8/5 Vivino consensus is a fair mid-band price, the UK premium being mostly duty, VAT and freight.
Under £20 (£15.96) and smooth enough for weeknight roasts and ragu, though at 13.5% and full body it is a cool-evening red rather than an aperitif pour.

Vivino drinkers rate the 2013 (4.0 from 183 ratings) and 2019 (4.0 from 525) highest; the 2022 now in the UK matches them at 4.0, in a softer, earlier-drinking register than the estate's Taurasi.
Drink-now / hold guidance reflects general style cues for this wine, not a forecast for a specific bottle. Where vintage-level editorial notes exist, they appear above.
Neromora comes from Aglianico on the hills around Paternopoli, a commune inside the Campi Taurasini growing zone; the Irpinia DOC disciplinare asks for at least 85% Aglianico and lets Vinosia release after months, not Taurasi's years.
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.
Vinosia picks Neromora by hand between late October and the first days of November, one of Italy's latest harvests, stretching vineyard labour weeks past most Campanian whites.
The importer sheet runs malolactic in French oak and matures the wine six to eight months in barrique before bottling, barrel spend most sub-£16 southern reds avoid.
HMRC duty on still wine at or under 15% ABV is £2.67 a bottle and VAT adds £2.66 of the £15.96 Eurowines price, so about a third of what you pay never touches the wine.
Declared as Irpinia Aglianico DOC, Neromora can sell months after harvest instead of sitting out Taurasi DOCG's multi-year mandate, keeping cellar-carry cost off the price.
Vinosia farms around 100 hectares and Eurowines moves Neromora as £95.76 six-packs; that scale and case logistics hold the UK bottle price in the mid-teens while EU retail sits near 10 to 12 euros.
Dishes that complement this wine
Aglianico's acidity and Neromora's barrique-smoothed tannin suit slow-cooked meat and salty southern cheeses; Vivino's crowd shortlist is beef, lamb and pasta.
Aglianico brings firm tannin even after Neromora's six to eight months in barrique, and slow-cooked collagen and rendered fat are what those tannins bind to. Braised shoulder cuts and southern lamb ragu turn the grip silky while the grape's fresh acidity lifts each forkful.
Try with: Agnello Ragu Lucano · Spezzatino di pecora · Lamb shank · More pairings →
A full-bodied 13.5% red from the Taurasi hills has the weight to sit level with roast beef and char-grilled steak. Neromora's dark fruit and vanilla wrap around roasted meat without either side dominating.
Try with: Sunday Roast Beef · Roast Lamb with Mint Sauce · Beef wellington · More pairings →
Aglianico holds more natural acidity than most southern reds, and that freshness cuts through lamb fat and porchetta crackling. The polished tannins the Eurowines datasheet notes keep the pairing about the meat's char, not the wine's grip.
Try with: Arrosticini · Porchetta · Fiorentina steak · More pairings →
Vivino drinkers log 57 earthy mentions (smoke, earth, leather) for Neromora, a natural bridge to porcini risotto and truffle pasta. The wine's liquorice-and-pepper spice picks up forest-floor aromatics rather than fighting them.
Try with: Porcini mushroom risotto · Truffle risotto · Tagliatelle al tartufo di Acqualagna · More pairings →
Salty aged cheese needs fruit and body more than sweetness, and Neromora's ripe blackberry and plum meet caciocavallo, the totem cheese of the Irpinia hills, salt for fruit. Tannin also scrubs the palate clean of the cheese's fat.
Try with: Caciocavallo farcito · Pecorino sardo e pan carasau · Frico · More pairings →
Chilli heat amplifies both Aglianico's tannin and the 13.5% alcohol into bitterness, so keep Neromora away from vindaloo-level spice. Raw oysters and sushi push the tannin metallic; pour Vinosia's Fontana della Loggia Falanghina instead.
Skip with: Chicken vindaloo · Szechuan beef · Sushi · Oysters · Pairing guide →
Built for earlier drinking than the Santandrea Taurasi DOCG above it in Vinosia's range: the 2022 drinks now and should hold to around 2028 under its natural cork.
A short splash decant softens the first-pour edge and opens the aromatics.
Irpinia DOC carries no long ageing mandate and Neromora is built for release; Aglianico's structure still holds it to around 2028, but Vinosia's Taurasi siblings are the cellar picks.
£15.96 is the lowest tracked offer for the current vintage and we have no signal of further discounting.

Confidence · MediumNo. Neromora is Vinosia's Irpinia Aglianico DOC, released after six to eight months in French oak barriques, while the Santandrea Taurasi DOCG above it in the range faces Taurasi's far longer ageing mandate. Both are Aglianico from the hills around Paternopoli; Neromora is the earlier-drinking, softer expression.
Blackberry and plum fruit with vanilla, delicate liquorice and a hint of paprika from the barrique ageing, then a full, dry palate with polished tannins at 13.5% ABV. Vivino's taste summary from 383 reviews cites oak and vanilla most often (88 mentions), followed by black fruit and an earthy, leathery edge.
Slow-braised lamb and beef, Sunday roasts, grilled meat such as arrosticini, and aged southern cheeses like caciocavallo. Aglianico's fresh acidity and Neromora's barrique-smoothed tannin handle rich, savoury cooking; Vivino drinkers shortlist beef, lamb and pasta.
Eurowines lists the 2022 vintage at £15.96 a bottle, sold as a six-bottle case at £95.76 including VAT. European retail sits around 10 to 12 euros, so the UK gap is mostly duty, VAT and freight.
Drink it from release through to around 2028. Complete malolactic fermentation and six to eight months in barrique soften Aglianico's grip for earlier drinking; look to Vinosia's Taurasi DOCG bottlings for a decade-long cellar hold.
Vinosia, the Irpinia estate founded in 2004 at Paternopoli by Luciano Ercolino, whose family co-founded Feudi di San Gregorio and has grown vines in the province of Avellino since 1887. The estate farms around 100 hectares of native varieties: Aglianico, Fiano, Greco and Falanghina.
