winemaker's notes:

Intense ruby red with violet reflections, it shows black cherry, wild blackberry and plum fruit flavours with a spicy, toasted overtone. Soft and elegant, it is surprisingly long in the mouth with notes of mature red fruits and displays the structure necessary for long ageing. Ideal with soups, even those which are meat based, cold cuts, white and red meat, roasted or boiled and mature cheeses.

alcohol by volume: 13.0%

critical acclaim:

"Bright ruby. Knockout nose offers fresh, pure strawberry and red cherry aromas of uncommon depth; reminded me of a bowl of perfumed, ripe red fruits. Vibrant and juicy thanks to firm but harmonious acidity, with above-average concentration to the red berry flavors lifted by a floral component. Finishes with fairly fine tannins and very good length; there's plenty of wine for the money here."

rating (4/4/2012):

I'm fast becoming a fan of this venerable, ancient grape. Aglianico has a nice bite to it. This isn't one of the stellar examples, like Seghesio's version, but it's still a fun wine to drink.It's not light and fruity, it is smooth but not supple, and it's earthy, not spicy. Needs a bit more age, I would guess.
