Aglianico produces weighty, concentrated, full wine
and is sometimes called the Barolo of the south. [This wine] has firm tannin
and good acidity with hints of tobacco and chocolate to embellish its smooth
cherry, bramble and mulberry flavours. - Brian Elliott"

Patient
wine drinkers will have to wait until this one lands on February 26, but The
Wine Society is already taking orders for this uplifting, yet brooding red,
made from the aglianico grape. It will be worth the wait for this one’s
herby, sunny southern Italian spice and red cherry fruit. - Jane MacQuitty"

"This shows nice
freshness with good structure to the cherry and plum fruit. Nice weight and good
tannins. Compact and structured with lovely purity. 91/100 Jamie Goode"

"The best red wines to
buy for Christmas 2020: Aglianico can be a beast – acidic, tannic, monumental
and as unyielding as granite. That’s what I like about it but it can make it
hard to drink. This is a surprisingly approachable version, elegant for aglianico
and redolent of fig wheel and black cherries. - Victoria Moore"

"I was hugely impressed
by this from Southern Italy that skilfully uses the weighty and concentrated
(but relatively unfamiliar) aglianico grape – which produces red wine sometimes
called the Barolo of the south.
[This wine] has firm tannin, good acidity and real depth coupled with hints of
tobacco and chocolate that attractively embellish its smooth, cherry, bramble
and mulberry flavours. - Brian Elliott"

Pale ruby. Lots of evolution and intrigue on the
nose. Brilliant value for winos who would appreciate the development. Very
good value. 16/20 Jancis Robinson"
