Black and Funky from the toasty burnt bread and dusty black plum and baked cherry bouquet with its hand cream notes, to the cedar and smoky tobacco, charred earth and eucalyptus. Like R. Kelly in a bed of silky tannic sheets trying to lure in a koala bear while Bootsy serenades on Bass. Creamy dark and different. But definitely as Funky as dancing feet. Medium mouthfeel, decent finish. Pull this one out of the closet, and drink now. Aglianico like it should be made.

Lovely, soft, and juicy glug-glug with round, red raspberry, black plum, and surprising depth for its price point. Not complex, but approaching rich. Paired well with a simple sausage and white sauce pizza.

This is my first time having the Aglianco varietal.
Brown red in color with a white rim. Aging already shown.
On the Nose, vanilla, minerals, blackberries and cherries.
Light to medium bodied.
Dry on the palate, with cherries, red currants, spices and peppercorn.
Medium finish with soft tannins.
13.5% alcohol by volume.

Плохо помню. Для альянико было довольно легкое и простое.

Classy wine. Firm tannins structure. Masculine style with bright acidity. Tobacco, coffee, spices, and black fruits interweave together. Nice.

Definitely drinks best on day two. Would recommend drinking it with a steak or a big fat juicy burger.
