Ambruco Terre del Volturno IGT Pallagrello Nero 2016

Excellent bouquet of dark fruit, dump earth. Good complexity and structure with fine tannins, and good aging potential. Lovely wine. — 5 years ago

Caputo

Zicorrà Terre del Volturno IGT Aglianico

15 year old bottle. Hallelujah, I am a believer. The acidic structure long said to be legendary, amongst Aglianico has truly proven itself. Charred wood, pumice, volcanic rock comes through on the nose seriously..
. Bloody bandaid and home maid soy sauce as well....after the oxidative musk blows off, it reveals a florid Gardenia quality on the nose. I've had a few Aglianico expressions before, but never one so old as this... tomato leaf, dried cherry on the palate with so much acidic life on the finish. Incredible.

Vestini Campagnano

Terre del Volturno Pallagrello Nero 2019

Must try more. Young but interesting layers of spice and a touch of green phenolics a la green cab sauv. Fruit, good depth with the spice (and almost smokiness?) and pleasant acid but a shortish finish. A grape to seek out. — 3 years ago

Il Gallo Di Fretta Canta All'alba Lontana Terre del Volturno Casavecchia 2017

This is not a blend, but 100% Casavecchia. Upon opening, the volcanic smokiness is immediately fragrant, and slightly perfumed. Dark berries, tannins, and minerals woven together. Delicious winter red!🍷 Also 👍 the very graphic designy label ...

Had the rest of the bottle with broiled salmon, cashew olive vinaigrette, wild mushrooms and polenta. It became veeeery mellow on day 2. Even better!

Casa Vinicola Michele Alois

Trebulanum Terre del Volturno IGT Casavecchia 2012

Old school rustic Italian, quite dark fruited, salty. Medium body. Very tannic on the back end, very structured wine. Substantial acid. Needs a couple hours of air to come together and show properly. Pair with 🍝 for a pretty pretty good time. // turns into something special on day 2 — 7 years ago

I applaud your patience to get to day two on so many wines here.

@Jenks honestly, most red wine I drink these days I prefer on day 2. When I open a bottle I usually immediately decant half of it to my trusty 375, cork it, and stick it in the fridge. 2-3-4 days later these babies sing!

@Jenks the bigger, more conventional red wines I mean. The super natty, lighter / carbonic / no SO2 stuff doesn't usually hold up so I pound that. Heyo.
