Continuing with the Italian theme..... This is a Cabernet blend with Merlot and a small amount of Aglianico. 2002 was not a good vintage in most parts of Italy but this showed well. Less mint and more savoury herbal notes - some black fruits. Campania being further south and warmer than Bolgheri, home of the Super Tuscans. Sweet warm fruit. A good effort for the year.
