I prefer this #Aglianico to many Italian wines I have had. #giornata works with two different clones and this was more like a #Taurasi style and was intense and spicy.

2014. Intense dark fruits and earth give way to floral and spice. If I had second bottle I would give it another 6 months before opening.

Dark, brooding and smoky, with the right amount of acidity and mineralogy to counter-balance the fruit. Better than some examples from Italy.

incredible! I can't believe this is from CA. Dark fruit, with slight pepper, earthy. You'd swear this was from Italy. June 2017

Green pepper from America! This tastes like a right bank Bordeaux with new world heaviness and an attempt at European crispness. I want to see more of these styles from American wineries, and I think in a couple more vintages this will be a well crafted wine. It was SUPER raw right out of the bottle. Definitely needs some more age, and air once opened. Overall though, nice Black Forest cake, bell pepper, earthy leather, full body with acid presence, and strong raw tannic finish with tertiary notes of oak.
