Stout & sturdy an unapologetic aglianico del vulture. A varietal that isn't for the faint of hearts or palettes. Is quite tannic but also portrays a suppleness. Going to try again tomorrow to see any difference of nuances. — a day ago

Aglianico del Vulture in general deserves a lot more credit than it gets—this wine especially — 5 years ago

Acidic, bright, great fruit and a spicy note. Really enjoyable and good price point. Il Cappricio Friday of Thanksgiving. — 10 months ago

This wine is 100% Aglianico, from a 2-hectar plot with 80-year-old vines outside the village of Maschito. The wine is dark purple and a bit cloudy; a hauting minerality of cholrine-alkalinity and bloody notes of iron (although soil minerals don’t necessarily end up in the grape, it is interesting to note that the soil is vulcanic and rich in iron and magnesium), also in the nose is blackcurrant, dark cherries, and vanilla (15 months on oak). On the palate the wine is fruit-driven and has a prominent structure of high acids and very coarse teeth-clinging tannins, the mid-palate is weak, and the finish spicy, green, “liquoricy” and the iron-blood notes lingers for a few seconds. This is no Taurasi, but an interesting and tasty wine. — 5 years ago
