Terra di Vulcano Aglianico del Vulture
Basilicata, Italy
Aglianico in the Berkshires: a low alcohol but strong tannin red that doesn’t blink with red meat on the table. Somehow manages to be lithe ( theoretically less than 13.5%) yet potent. Oh , that nose: black cherries, gorgeous. Had with steak, grilled zucchini, fresh corn. Uh, and under 14$. We should be scoring wine on their ratio of quality to price. That’s insane.

Medium plus garnet intensity. On the nose, intense aromas of black fruit, black cherry, black olives, dirt, permanent marker, stewed blackberries, spice, cedar, and dark chocolate. On the palate, medium body with grippy tannins, right acidity and and earthy characteristics. Dark woodsy flavors. A touch bitter on the palate too. 8.8
