Maturing nicely, this is in the tertiary zone with pronounced dried red fruits, savory spices and roasted meats, with plenty of iron and volcanic soil notes. The tannin have resolved into a fine and elegant structure. Acidity is intact and well integrated. The flavor intensity is high, elegant, and persistent, very light on its feet as it sails into a long, mature finish.

This will pair perfectly with pasta and lighter fowl, gane or meat dishes. Pastas it will excel with red sauces, pestos or any lighter sauces that are savory with garlic and herbs at their core.

Slightly acidic and not as full as expected. Subtle floral and mineral notes with faded strawberry. The initially firm tannins became almost silky when we drank the rest the next day after decanting for half an hour. — 2 months ago

Medium deep ruby with garnet rim . Freshly cut herbs like sage and rosemary with cedar , plum and dark cherry , liquorice . On the palate quite dense but with fresh acidity and firm slightly dry tannins . More of the plum and dark spiced cherry , blackberry, herbal and liquorice touches on the reasonable length finish . Drinking well now though will continue to show well over the next 5 years . Slightly under the radar with good personality and surprising freshness . — 3 months ago

Elena Fucci is the sorceress of Aglianico—her wines are always true to the variety and her volcanic terroir - intense, raw, wild, savory, stinky and spicy - big and polished, but never overextracted or overoaked. SCEG manages to distill the best parts of her ageworthy iconic Titolo into a fun sized week night package: more of that plummy, black fruit and softer, friendlier tannins. The sotto bosco is still there — porcini mushroom, bay leaf, thyme, wet black rocks — along with licorice, the aforementioned fruits and so much pepper (a reminder that Syrah and aglianico share the same family tree) — 4 months ago
