Aglianico

Cantine Antonio Caggiano

Macchia dei Goti Taurasi Aglianico 2020

New-mown hay, blackberry brambles on the nose. Intensely fruit forward, but not sweet or cloying. Raspberries and blackberries. Light tannic structure, with mint and back pepper low notes, but it develops a pleasing minerality on its surprisingly long finish. I don’t know anything about this vintage, but it seems like it was grown on volcanic soils. The front reminds me of a Beaujolais Nouveau, but the finish is much more complex. A unique profile combination that I’ve never tasted before. Lovely. — 3 days ago

Pungent, interesting wine. Crushed flowers, overly ripe plum, sour cherries, ripe raspberries, maybe bark. Astringent. Serious wine. Open this way in advance. — 24 days ago

Satyricon Irpinia Campi Taurasini Aglianico 2021

An exceptional aglianico that was a perfect pairing with a tasting menu of Tuscan and Roman food. A little VA - but not in a distracting way! — 3 months ago

Azienda Agricola Montevetrano

Montevetrano di Silvia Imparato 2017

A traditional Bordeaux style super Tuscan. What lovely wine. Spice and leather on the nose in this medium to full bodied wine, cherries, and earth tones define the pallet with a medium finish.  — 5 months ago
