La Capranera
Campania Aglianico
Campania, Italy
Aglianico? This was new to me, but a welcome surprise. Lovely nose which gives way to blackberry and cherry fruit. The middle brings a tannin load, with anise and cocoa tones. The surprise is a hint of brown sugar/cotton candy at the end. For $12 this is very good value.

Very light, easy drinkable, going to go down too easily

Incredible value for a bright, fresh, steel fermented young Aglianico.
