Marco Tinessa Aglianico 'Ognostro Rosso' 2021
Vintage Character
Marco Tinessa Aglianico 'Ognostro Rosso' 2021 comes from Montemarano in Irpinia, one of Campania’s most respected zones for Aglianico, where elevation and marked day-night temperature shifts help build both structure and aromatic lift. The 2021 vintage is widely regarded as a strong southern Italian year, delivering ripe fruit with freshness and definition, and here that balance suits Aglianico especially well. Montemarano’s cool inland setting and volcanic-influenced, mineral-rich soils give the wine its combination of dark intensity, firmness, and savory energy.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
The nose opens with black cherry, damson, violet, and wild herbs, followed by pepper, anise, iron, and a subtle ashy note that echoes the grape’s stern, noble character. On the palate, it is dry, full-bodied, and tightly built, with high acidity and assertive tannins carrying layers of plum skin, blackberry, licorice, graphite, and earthy spice through a long, grippy finish. This is an expressive, characterful red that pairs beautifully with braised lamb shank, grilled ribeye, or mushroom ragù with pappardelle.
Winery Background
Marco Tinessa is a small, artisanal Campanian producer known for a low-intervention approach shaped in part by the influence of Frank Cornelissen, with a strong focus on transparency of fruit and place. Fruit for Ognostro comes from high-altitude Aglianico in Montemarano, farmed with minimal chemical input and careful manual selection. In the cellar, the style favors gentle extraction and a natural expression rather than heavy makeup, with fermentation and élevage designed to preserve texture, energy, and mineral detail. Produced in tiny quantities, Ognostro has become a cult favorite for drinkers seeking a raw yet refined interpretation of Aglianico.
