Tenuta Cavalier Pepe
Terra del Varo Irpinia Aglianico
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.

Dry on the palate, with cherries, red currants, spices and peppercorn.
Medium finish with soft tannins.
