Origin: Terre Degli Svevi vineyard, Basilicata, Italy
Varietal: aglianico del vulture*
*a regional designation, this aglianico is grown on the slopes of extinct volcano Mount Vulture.
Producer's Notes: Only hard work and respect make it possible to exploit this famous Italian grape which- like King Manfredi- is a little unpolished and introverted but with a big heart. A noble wine that everyone loves and often has surprises in store.
Wine Advocate: "The 2015 Aglianico del Vulture is purposely not a particularly profound or complex wine, but it is streamlined, tight and accessible with a refreshingly frank and matter-of-fact personality. The bouquet reveals aromas of candied cherry, smoke and crushed volcanic rock. The tannins are a bit dusty, but they are well integrated."
Grade: 91+ points
