Macchia Dei Briganti

Cantine Antonio Caggiano

Macchia dei Goti Taurasi Aglianico 2020

New-mown hay, blackberry brambles on the nose. Intensely fruit forward, but not sweet or cloying. Raspberries and blackberries. Light tannic structure, with mint and back pepper low notes, but it develops a pleasing minerality on its surprisingly long finish. I don’t know anything about this vintage, but it seems like it was grown on volcanic soils. The front reminds me of a Beaujolais Nouveau, but the finish is much more complex. A unique profile combination that I’ve never tasted before. Lovely. — 2 months ago

Eubea

Covo dei Briganti Aglianico del Vulture

Ripe red fruits, prunes, acidity just right and very good balance. By a fluke it was the house wine on the menu. Fabulous deal. — 11 years ago
