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

50% palagrello nero and 50% casavecchia. This wine dates from before the split of the 2 associates who started this estate (Peppe Mancini founding Terre del Principe). Magnum 2001 vintage. — 6 years ago

Drink it all. Soft tannins, amazing with Cana de Cabra or Tête de Moine

There must be more interesting wines that nobody talks about coming out of Campania than anywhere else in Italy. Heard some great things about this one, though I must admit the first glass made me nervous--the initial whiff seemed bretty though it got quickly overtaken by the scents of fresh ripe berry fruit, but even then it didn't seem to have that extra dimension of rocky non-fruit personality that I love so much in the palagrello from Vestini, which might be my only other reference for this grape but great just the same. It takes awhile but some of that eventually comes out (i.e., make sure you decant the hell out of this thing). The red berry fruit turns black and crunchy and that Pessac-like scorched earth and smoky charcoal personality surfaces through fruit that's still fairly rich and ripe. — 10 years ago
