2011 Vesuvio is a Compellingly weird combo of Piedirosso and Aglianico. Maybe some lava in there too. Medium bodied, showing chocolate, cherry cola, and herbs. Need more of this stuff, just to try to figure it out.

I love that an amateur wine drinker tasted this and said, "Wow, it's smoky. Is it supposed to be smoky?" Yes.

2011 blend of 80% Piedirosso 20% Aglianico - so this is what a volcano smells like, pull of licorice, dried orange liqueur, minerality, dark inkiness, bodacious
