Radici Taurasi Aglianico 2018

If I could shower love on one varietal that doesn’t get enough love it would be this Aglianico. Dark small currants, blackberries & black plum on palate; smoke & camphor on nose. Pitch perfect balance between freshness & power, which I think is Aglianico ‘s great balancing act. Sweet drinking window now but this has legs too—-oh, & price is an absurd 30$ for this quality of wine & winemaking. — 6 days ago

Serpico Irpinia Aglianico 2003

Ron R
9.1

This was sailing… meaty nose of rich burnt ends coupled with plum jam. Palate was viscous and mineral driven. S little too much acidity with a slightly citrus finish. Nice juxtaposition with the Siro, but this was always destined for second place tonight. — a month ago

Beneventano Falanghina 2022

Succulent white wine made with 100% Falanghina grapes from the heart of Taburno territory. On the nose, very persistent notes of fruit, acacia and white flowers. Some baked pear, dried apricot, a distant citrusy is sensed as well. On the palate, it is definitely dry, mild-solid mouthfeel, and distinctive structure and a long but not overwhelming finish. Bright and alive, nearly cero or no MLF at all. This wine can easily age beautifully. Drink now or hold until 2027. — 17 days ago

Feudi di San Gregorio

Taurasi Aglianico 2010

After 15 years this is starting to shed its gloomy and cranky nature. Black fruit, volcanic minerality, tons of fiery and smoky nuances, refreshing acidity.
Very nice!

Colli di Salerno Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2007

Decanted about 30 minutes prior to service; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2007 pours a deep ruby color with an opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and some signs of light sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with powerful notes of ripe red and dark fruits: brambles, kirsch, plum, tobacco, purple flowers, green bell pepper, leather, cocoa, and earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. This is positively delightful right now and there are little signs of slowing down. Drink now through 2037. — 2 months ago
