Terra di Lavoro Roccamonfina Aglianico Piedirosso

I imagine this will improve some in the bottle but it’s pretty great right now. Bloody and juicy and complex and balanced. Lots of body but still refreshing.

Aglianico for BDX lovers. Fresh prune, saba, dried oregano, tar. Needs more time.

Needs three hours in the decanter to open up. Ripe tannins, strong acid, beautiful spice component on the mid palate, long finish. Lots of power but with a certain elegance. Nice wine.

Black fruits, currants, cassis, herbaceous and very dry

Pretty! Kinda dirty, pretty locked up. Called it Sangiovese or Cab Franc on the blind.

Smoke

This is the most bizarre wine

Fresh and vibrant. The Piedirosso really works here to make the Aglianico charming.

Vanilla and sour milk duds on the nose. Chocolate and rose on the palette. Crazy and great.

Lots of dark berry, plum fruits, cedar, smoke, ash, dried herbs & graphite.
