Ricca Terra Aglianico 2023 from the Riverland is a striking example of Italian varietal charm grown in Australia. The bouquet opens with dark plum, black cherry and subtle violet aromas, layered with hints of leather, smoked spice and earthy forest floor. On the palate it is structured yet approachable, showing juicy blackcurrant, ripe fig and a touch of bitter chocolate, supported by fine tannins and lively acidity that carry through to a persistent finish. This wine combines depth, elegance and a sense of energy that makes it compelling from the first sip.

This Ricca Terra Aglianico 2023 pairs beautifully with slow roasted lamb, grilled venison or rich mushroom ragu. It is ideal for long dinners, sharing with friends, or anyone looking for a full flavoured, textural red that delivers Italian varietal intensity with Australian generosity.
