Cantine Madonna Delle Grazie
Liscone Aglianico del Vulture
Potenza, Basilicata, Italy
Intense spice character and effusive briary fruit finishing with huge tannins. The combination of fruit, spice and black pepper reminds me of old school Zinfandel in a way. Great expression of volcanic terroir, would make a great barbecue pairing wine.

Beautiful floral aromas, restrained fruit, and on point sense of minerals. Downside was alc (14%) showing, even at wine fridge temp. Chilled more to hide it. Also: Amazing reminder of how well Aglianico from Basilicata pairs with spice - peperoncino piccante.
