Bluish red fruits, rusty tannins, some green tobacco and leather coming out with air. I like his fiano better but this is a no fuss rustic and delicious food wine. Good acids, comes off like a deep mineral pool on the nose.

Hearty, hits of lavender and fennel. Good value food wine.

agree that the Fiano from Picariello is the real showstopper, but this aglianico ain't shabby, either.
