Petrafusa Taurasi Aglianico 2017

2017 opened 2024. A little too fruit forward for my taste. Mild scents of Earth and briars on the nose. Ripe black cherries on the front. Soft tannins — but otherwise not much is there. Earth notes begin mid palate. The tannic structure fades on the end leaving a mildly bitter finish. Nothing offensive about this wine — neither does it challenge me in any way. I’m not very familiar with the Aglianico grape. If this is typical of the of this varietal, it’s a better mixing grape than a primary.

Opened a second bottle March of 2025. Same comments as before, except I only drank a glass and saved the rest for the next day. Much more balanced after some oxygenation! Upped my rating from 8.8 to 9.2!

Greco di Tufo

Loved this wine. Lightly fruity, melon notes, quite dry. Had on its own but could really shine with a food pairing. Would love to have again. — 3 years ago

Reserva Totus Tuus Brut Cava Blend

Lovely pre dinner Cava sharing at our favorite wine store El Wine Chateau. Yeasty nose, crisp bubbles and all the flavors of Xarello, Chardonnay, Macabeo, Parellada, and a touch of Pinot Noir — 5 years ago

Rocca dei Leoni Campania Aglianico

From Vinnie. Delicious. Great mouthfeel and a nice little finish—dry in a good way. Flavorful without being jammy/fruity. Earthy? Granite-y? — 3 years ago
