Score: ✧✧✧✧ |
This Aglianico shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of garnet red,
little transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and refined
aromas which start with hints of black cherry, blueberry and plum followed
by aromas of blackberry, violet, vanilla, licorice, eucalyptus, cocoa and
pink pepper. In the mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a tannic
attack and however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors, good
tannins. The finish is persistent with flavors of black cherry, plum and
blueberry. A well made wine. This Aglianico ages for 18 months in barrique
followed by 8 months of aging in bottle.
