Firm, intense dry red, with notes of slightly tart cranberries, earth and slightly oxidative notes. I also detected a faint touch of bandaid on first sniff, though it seemed to disappear within a few minutes. Finishes with tart acidity and firm tannin. Agree with JS, this wine would benefit from decanting...or a few years in bottle. In any case, a fine, distinctive aglianco. Tasted Dec 2013. Re-tastied Oct 2014, notes are consistent except the wine seems a bit more mellow...upgrading to 90pts. Excellent!

Great producer of both whites and reds from Southern Italy. This is textbook Aglianico - medium bodied with herbs, smoked cherries, black licorice, burnt rubber and black pepper. High acid ads a little nip to the finish. Nice structure throughout.

Classic Italian wine that comes from a region south of Naples, Italy. Very impressive wine for the price. Will get better after some decanting. Tasted December 2013.
