Aglianicone

Aglianicone is a red Italian wine grape variety grown in the regions of Campania and Basilicata in southern Italy. Despite the similarity in name, Aglianicone is not a clonal mutation of Aglianico, though DNA analysis suggests a close genetic relationship between the two varieties.

The variety has a reputation for being a high-yielding vine that produces wines of generally low quality. As of 2000, there were about 140 hectares (350 acres) of Aglianicone planted in Italy.
