Dry and herbaceous. An intriguing wine that you'd never guess is moscato. β 11 years ago
My good friend brought this wine because she wanted me to try her hometown wine.
This is a nice surprise. A nice Aglianico from Italy. Fruit forward and dark in color, more than i expected.
Showing red and black fruits with light wood, dark coffee, dark chocolates, vegetables, herbs, graphite, alcohol, spices and peppercorn.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with mild complexity and a nice mouthfeel.
Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
Needs an hour to open up properly.
I gave it a light chill and had it by the pool.
Very enjoyable by itself or with food. A great food wine that will pair nicely with pizza. I paired it with BBQ Meats.

Botte 47. Phenomenally complex and constantly evolving. Initially savory with some animal fur, toasty honey (aged semillon) notes, slight star fruit. Then it evolved into dried flowers, mushroom, and dark fruit - reminded me of a young Barolo. Then black tea, green tea. Then strong dried spearmint, honeyed toasty complexity like the '81 Lopez de Heredia. Medium bodied with slightly elevated sparkling acidity. Not intense, but persistent on the palate. To borrow a phrase from Veronelli- It burrowed into my memory. I hope it made me forever better. β 10 years ago
