Aglianico
Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧✭

Aglianico del Vulture Il Sigillo shows an intense ruby red color and nuances of garnet red, little transparency. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing, refined and elegant aromas which start with hints of blackberry, plum and black cherry followed by aromas of violet, blueberry, vanilla, tobacco, chocolate, cinnamon, pink pepper, mace and menthol. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors, agreeable roundness. The finish is persistent with flavors of blackberry, plum and black cherry. A well made wine. Aglianico del Vulture Il Sigillo ages for 24 months in barrique.
