Issue is the origin of its name. Several scholars refer to the etymology Aglianico (or Glianica) Hellan or in the Hellenic Greek crediting the source, in particular, Euboea, the grape. The Door (1592) identified with the old screws Hellenica Helvolae described by Columella and Pliny. More recent studies, noting assonance Guarani / Glianico make it a continuation of the ancient Guarano, mentioned by Pliny. Unlikely the identity, if only lexical, as well as between Aleatico Aglianico and the derivation of the name Elea / Velia. More interesting etymological path of Andrea Bacci (1596) dating back to the greek aglaos (light) and Aglaia (splendor), which Aglianico, wine and ruby glow.
