Cantina di Venosa
Verbo Aglianico del Vulture
Basilicata, Italy
My good friend brought this wine because she wanted me to try her hometown wine.
This is a nice surprise. A nice Aglianico from Italy. Fruit forward and dark in color, more than i expected.
Showing red and black fruits with light wood, dark coffee, dark chocolates, vegetables, herbs, graphite, alcohol, spices and peppercorn.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with mild complexity and a nice mouthfeel.
Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
Needs an hour to open up properly.
I gave it a light chill and had it by the pool.
Very enjoyable by itself or with food. A great food wine that will pair nicely with pizza. I paired it with BBQ Meats.
14% alcohol by volume.
89 points.

Black as night! Lots of black cherry on the nose and the palette. Fruit forward, slightly flabby and some spice.
