Pretty, pure, a bit grippy. Wish the VA were a bit less prominent. Still, it's super tasty

The lighter side of Aglianico, which I think is much underrated. Fresh, bright fruits, tannins still firm. Dusty, balsamic fruit character. Definitely natty - there's an bit of acetic acid character that sours the wine a bit.

Tremendous, just opened and showing so well. Earth, spice, funk . Integrated tannins. Well worth the investment

Grippy, rough edges. Natural untouched fruit, a little VA. Sage, blueberries, pomegranate, salty and meaty. I think it's more like 13.5 alc. Really lovely, untethered

A beautiful and bright aglianico, with vibrant and rustic elements jumping out right after opening. Lots of tannins to compliment the blue/black fruit. Those aromatics though!

Great wine, though a fleshier, plumper style than the the aglianicos I'm used to.

A high wire balancing act between the acidity, phenolics, and sheer joy of the grape. Nobody fell from a great height. They made it. They did it. Let's see what happens as it opens yeah? YEAH?
