Aglianico
Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧✧

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