D'Angelo
Aglianico del Vulture
Basilicata, Italy

So I tried to make a Stracatto. Yeah it was over salted and it turned into a Ragu because the meat got cooked in a great way that fell apart, but not how the recipe called for. Saving grace this meal, this wine. I mean, it smells Italian with a dust in the leather in the beefy chewy grape beef steak tomato base to it. Cut through the fat of a slow cooked Chuck’s steak and a heavy hand of garlic and thyme. Really shown very well, delicious wine, and I drink this with a meal every day.
