Ricca Terra Aglianico

Ricca Terra Aglianico 2025, from Ashley Ratcliff’s Ricca Terra team in South Australia’s Riverland, is a compelling red with Italian soul and award-winning pedigree. Five trophies at the 2026 Riverland Wine Show underline its appeal, while deeply flavoured fruit and savoury complexity make it an exciting addition to your table.

Black cherry, blackcurrant and mulberry mingle with violets, liquorice root and warming clove and nutmeg. The palate brings generous fruit, grippy tannins and freshening acidity, building towards a lengthy, savoury finish. The 2025 Ricca Terra Aglianico delivers richness with restraint, offering plenty to savour now and promising ageing potential.

Give this characterful Riverland red a hearty partner: slow-braised beef cheeks, rosemary lamb shoulder or mushroom ragù with pappardelle. These suggested pairings complement its dark fruit, spice and savoury depth, while the tannin structure makes richly flavoured dishes particularly appealing. Pour with a generous meal and settle in.
