A pretty delicious expression, but lacking on the body and complexity side. Short finish and relatively thin structure, but you wouldn’t suspect it by the nose, which is pretty full and rich. Plums, cherries, blackberries, 5-spice blend, and anise. — 7 days ago

9.1

Established in the 1750s by winemaker Pietro di Mastro Berardino. Ruby with complex aromas of berry fruit, spice, floral and oak. On the palate rich fruit flavors of cherry and black raspberry with sweet spice, full oak and slight herb notes. Big grippy tannins, savory, lingering ending with a lot of oak but should soften with time. Very nice! — 7 days ago

Bought at Yankee yellow dot sale in October 2018. Sale price was 27.99. I liked this enough to get another at full price of $34.99 although the next one is a 2011. I always like this wine maker but only had whites until now. — 12 days ago

Tart cherry, raspberries on the nose, dried flowers, leather and crisp acidity with some grippy tannins on the palate. Perfect with lasagna! — 14 days ago

An internationalized Aglianico, almost syrupy but a real Aglianico character remains intact, unlike most other modern Aglianico made with overripe grapes and over the top oak. — a day ago

Impressive and heavy as expected. I had a miss with the pairing and so the wine overpowered. (We has spinach cheese ravioli in butter sage sauce). It needed beef. — 8 days ago

Best Italian full-bodied red wine of the year: As much as I love the three “B’s” of Italian wine (Barolo, Barbaresco and Brunello) my vote goes to the 2010 Guastaferro Taurasi Primum, a heady mix of ripe red fruit, tar and licorice aromas and flavors with some age on them.
