The 2017 Gricos is a fresh-styled Aglianico del Vulture. Dusty dried florals, black cherries and crushed stone minerality lift from the glass. It’s silky-smooth yet spry, mixing sweet tannin with nervous acidity, creating mouthwatering tension, as hints of tobacco and licorice linger. $18.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2021)

Bring red fruits, charcoal, tannic. Would go great with some seafood with red sauce

Massive in scale with viscous mouthfeel and grippy tannins.

The 2021 Gricos is bursting with violet, lavender, blackberry and stone notes. Supremely silky yet deep, this blends ripe black fruits with tantalizing acidity and a zesty, citrusy core. It’s impressively long and lightly structured. Beautiful today yet also fit for the cellar. $20.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2023)

I liked it. Opened nicely. It's Italian.. and I unfortunately didn't cook anything to pair with it.

True to form #aglianico - good balance, acidity and red fruit notes.
