Score: ✧✧✧✧ |
This wine shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of ruby red,
moderate transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and
elegant aromas which start with nuances of plum jam, black cherry jam and
violet followed by good aromas of carob, cherry and blueberry as well as
pleasing hints of vanilla, licorice and leather. In the mouth has good
correspondence to the nose, a slightly tannic attack however well balanced
by alcohol, good body and intense flavors. The finish is persistent with
flavors of plum, black cherry and blueberry. This Aglianico ages for 8
months in barrique followed by 3 months of aging in bottle.
