Feudi di San Gregorio Serpico 2001
Red Wine
from Southern Italy, Italy
winemaker's notes:
"The 2001 Serpico, impenetrable and inky, staggeringly rich in both aroma and flavor, offers ultra-ripe but perfectly fresh berry fruit, cloves, cinnamon, and chocolate, and mouth-coating, deep-pile tactile sensations which combine iron power and a enveloping, voluptuous texture, infinitely deep and long. I would be amazed if this wine did not last thirty years."
-Wine Advocate
Grape Varieties: 100% Aglianico di Taurasi, harvested in part from century-old pre-phylloxera vines. Vinification: Manual harvesting starts in mid-October and lasts until early November. After pressing, a long maceration on the skins takes place. Once malolactic fermentation is completed, the wine is aged for 14 months in new French oak barrels prior to release.
Intense, persistent bouquet of rich wild cherries, toasted oak and warm vanilla. Soft, dense and well-balanced. The finish is long and pleasant, with flavors of red berries against a smooth background of toast and spice.
Serving Suggestions: Well-matched with roasted meat and game

I've enjoyed Red Wine for many years, albiet from a far, never really learning how to truely enjoy a wine. Until I purchased a couple bottles of this beautiful wine. Once I tasted this most excellent wine, I was hooked.
My only regret is not buying a case to store a bottle or two for a rainy day.
I realize this review isn't what you would normally expect. But give this wine a try. I truely believe you'll be very satisfied.
