2017 opened 2024. A little too fruit forward for my taste. Mild scents of Earth and briars on the nose. Ripe black cherries on the front. Soft tannins — but otherwise not much is there. Earth notes begin mid palate. The tannic structure fades on the end leaving a mildly bitter finish. Nothing offensive about this wine — neither does it challenge me in any way. I’m not very familiar with the Aglianico grape. If this is typical of the of this varietal, it’s a better mixing grape than a primary.
Opened a second bottle March of 2025. Same comments as before, except I only drank a glass and saved the rest for the next day. Much more balanced after some oxygenation! Upped my rating from 8.8 to 9.2! — a year ago
From Vinnie. Delicious. Great mouthfeel and a nice little finish—dry in a good way. Flavorful without being jammy/fruity. Earthy? Granite-y? — 4 years ago
A lovely, light red wine - perfect for a sunny, blustery spring day. A little bit floral, blackberry, very fruity and a bit of charred wood. Eminently drinkable without food. — 7 months ago

Had this beautiful wine with small plates of salmon and pork, the citrus flavors with a long fresh aftertaste went really well with these dishes at Cantina Véra — 4 months ago
