Dark and smoky, the 2013 Cretarossa shows ashen stone, blackberries, sage, underbrush and a spritz of tangerine. It’s silky in texture yet lifted and elegant, with a wave of black fruits coasting along a saline core of acids and minerals. Energy remains high throughout the grippy tannins. $25.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, November 2021)

Super interesting and easy to drink. Enjoyed with pasta bolognese. Graphite, leather, red cherry and red currant. Great acidity.

2011. 100% Anglianico from Campania. Grippy tannins, tongue coating, dark fruit, graphite, burly af. Interesting but fatiguing, fun to try but can’t imagine drinking more than a glass of this in one sitting.

Nov 19, 2020. Celebrating some Italian holiday in August — Feast Italian wine sale. Whoa. Big Aglianico! I don’t get much fruit in this 2009 vintage, mostly leather, earth, tar and LOTS of pepper. Interesting. Love it.
