Fattoria Selvanova 2004 Silicata Aglianico (Terre del Volturno)
- $39
With 15% Cab Sauvignon, this is a meaty, red fruit-driven red that delivers lingering notes of exotic spice, clove, cherry cola and roasted espresso bean. Nutmeg-like flavors appear in the mouth, followed by tight tannins and a rocksolid structure.

Fattoria Selvanova 2003 Selvanova Aglianico (Terre del Volturno)
- $45
This is a new, promising estate from Campania (southern Italy) that makes “one bottle equals one vine” its operating philosophy. With that kind of intense concentration, you can expect deeply etched tones of blackberry, figs and cherry preserves. But that’s not all: toasted cedar, vanilla, tobacco and campfire aromas are also prominent thanks to 18 months of…

Fattoria Selvanova 2004 Selvanova Aglianico (Terre del Volturno)
- Online Exclusive
This is an oak-driven expression of Aglianico with heavy and deeply penetrating aromas of black spice, mature blackberry and polished granite or mineral. The wine is soft and chewy in the mouth with thick concentration and a long trail of smoke and ash that speaks of the volcanic territory that shaped it.

Fattoria Selvanova 2006 Acquavigna Pallagrello (Terre del Volturno)
- Online Exclusive
- $19
From the almost-extinct Pallagrello grape, this luminous white wine really holds its own in terms of personality and uniqueness. There are pretty mineral tones here but thanks to the wine’s age (from the 2006 vintage), you’ll also get more complex notes of butterscotch, caramel and apricot. You can feel the high alcohol on the close.

Fattoria Selvanova 2007 Acquavigna Pallagrello (Terre del Volturno)
- $16
If you want to taste a new grape variety from southern Italy, Pallagrello is a very interesting choice. The wine is naturally high in alcohol so take care to pair it with rich, creamy or cheesy dishes to dampen the heat. Aromas include stone fruit, honey and bitter nut.

Fattoria Selvanova 2009 Acquavigna Pallagrello (Terre del Volturno)
- $16
From the rare Pallagrello grape, this is a wine that will appeal to those looking for new tastes from Italy. You can feel the alcohol here but the heat is downplayed by the wine’s naturally thick and rich texture. Pair this wine with creamy pasta dishes to match the intensity of the mouthfeel.
