Packed with old work charm and structure. Spicy cherry, cedar, tobacco, leather and barnyard. Rustic tannins that have a sour edge. Finished up dry.

A fair example of a grape born from the ashen lands of a volcano. Mint, anise, mountain blueberry. Touch of ozone. Good with food, struggles without.

Showing good intensity, plenty of licorice, tar, and leather with lean black fruit. Less generous as the past vintage. For dollars more, the anglianco del vulture delivers a significant leap in quality.
