100% aglianico. Like a decadent blackberry and chocolate dessert but not too sweet, just indulgent and velvety.

A perfect wine. Great expression of a great grape and great style. Earthy, leather and licorice notes. Perfect with red meats

2008 vintage. Stunning expression of aglianico. Easy to see why they call this Barolo of the south. Spice, savory, beautiful integration of oak with a ridiculously long complex finish. Not cheap but the quality makes you forget the price.

Fantastic wine -- blueberry, licorice, graphite, well integrated tannins. This 2009 is drinking superbly. Excellent with both veal Bolognese and Orechiette.
